Default " 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 ?
