Buddhism, an anagami (
Pali for "non-returning") is a partially-
enlightened person who has cut off the first five
chains that bind the ordinary mind. Anagami-ship is the third of the
four stages of enlightenment.Anagamis are not reborn into the human world after death, but into the heaven of the Pure Abodes, where only anagamis live. There they attain full enlightenment (
arahantship).The Pali terms for the specific chains or fetters (Pali: ) of which an anagami is free are: - Belief in selfVicikicchā - Skeptical doubtSīlabbata-parāmāsa - Attachment to rites and ritualsKāma-rāga - Sensuous cravingByāpāda - Ill-will
