Significance of Anagamin

Anagamin, in Buddhist teachings, refers to a significant stage of enlightenment where an individual achieves the status of a 'non-returner.' This person will not return to the earthly realm after death and has largely abandoned worldly desires, thus progressing towards liberation. Different interpretations exist across South Asia's Mahayana and Theravada traditions, depicting Anagamin as a practitioner who has transcended much of the cycle of rebirth and is destined for rebirth in pure abodes, ultimately moving towards nirvana.
