Anagami
In 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
