" Not Fully Enlightened "
I have the book 'Mindfulness Bliss and Beyond " by Ajahn Brahm and haven't had time to get further than the first chapter yet.
However I saw this comment in the book in a section on how to tell if someone is enlightened.
"
So if you see someone who has many possessions, is proud, or fears death, then you know that person is not fully enlightened. "
How does this fit in with wealth and possessions owned by monasteries and temples in the form of many valuable statues, artifacts and so on ?
