I found this explanation of 'Once Returner' at Dhamma Wiki, and wondered if anyone would like to comment about it.
Does anyone know where the Buddha gave these specifications for a once returner in the Pali Canon? Sakadāgāmī: 'Once returner' A sakadagami (once-returner) has eradicated the first three hindrances of the 10 hindrances to enlightenment and greatly weakened the fourth and fifth; attachment to sense desires and ill-will. Such a person will be re-born to either the human or heavenly realm and will attain enlightenment there. See: 10 hindrances and the Four stages of realization. http://www.dhammawiki.com/index.php?title=Sakadagami and.... The 10 hindrances are as follows: 1.The belief in a permanent personality, ego 2.Doubt, extreme skepticism 3. Attachment to rites, rituals, and ceremonies 4.Attachment to sense desires 5.Ill-will, anger 6.Craving for existence in the Form world (heavenly realms) 7.Craving for existence in the Formless world (heavenly realms) 8.Conceit 9. Restlessness 10.Ignorance The 10 Fetters are also found in AN10.13 http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipit....013.than.html |
