They do exist, but where to find them? Here are some, the Sixteen Arhats, that buddhanet displays: http://www.buddhanet.net/e-learning/history/lohans.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Maybe this SF temple could help you find statues? Look in the lower right for images of the Sixteen: http://www.zhaxizhuoma.net/NEWS/2006-FuHuiSi.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Good and evil have no fixed form. It's as easy to turn from doing bad to doing good as it is to flip over the hand from the back to the palm. It's simply up to us to do it. Master Hsuan Hua.
