  • There are ten hindrances to enlightenment (shown below) and four stages of realization (enlightenment) based on how many hindrances have been eliminated and / or the degree to which they have been eliminated. A Buddha is someone who is fully enlightened. A person who is fully enlightened, but not the Buddha of our time, is called an Arahant in Pali. Such a person has eradicated all ten hindrances to enlightenment: 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 (from Anguttara Nikaya 10.13) An anagami (non-returner) has completely eradicated the first five hindrances and never returns to earth or any other world system (planet, solar system). Such a person is re-born to a heavenly realm and attains enlightenment from there. A sakadagami (once-returner) has eradicated the first three hindrances 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. A sotapanna (stream-entrant) has eradicated the first three hindrances and will be re-born no more than seven more times and re-birth will either be as a human or a deva in a heavenly realm.
