...However, AN 10.93 do not seem to me as a teaching for final awakening but a needed condition toward the goal, while MN143 seems an instruction for final awakening. As far as I can go, the realization of the instructions for MN 143 need the realization of AN 10.93 but AN 10.93 seems not enough for the final goal.

thanks Kaarine

(sorry about missing your post earlier)

i just researched SN 55.26 & 27, which seem to suggest Anathapindika was a stream-enterer

however, my view still remains if Anathapindika was a stream-enterer then he would have known the instruction in MN 143

MN 143 still seems like simple non-attachment to me (rather than an arahant's penetration of the Three Characteristics)

at the end of MN 143, Anathapindika is reported to have appeared in Tusita heaven (thus did not reach arahantship)

kind regards
