Tibetan Kwan Yin (SHAKYAHANDICRAFT)
1. The one realizing the path of stream-winning.2. The one realizing the fruition of stream-winning.
3. The one realizing the path of once-returning.4. The one realizing the fruition of once-returning. 5. The one realizing the path of non-returning.6. The one realizing the fruition of non-returning. 7. The one realizing the path of arhatship.8. The one realizing the fruition of arhatship.

Are arhats "through and through" enlightened?
NOTE: "through and through" has a diverse meaning the same as referring to a buddha", of which three kinds may be distinguished: alone contemporary disciples (arhats), independently-enlightened non-teachers (PACCEKA-BUDDHAS), and hardly or supremely-enlightened teachers ("samma-sam-buddhas"). The dexterity of awakening is the exceptionally for all three. But each class comes with step by step snooty kinds of Very well KNOWLEDGES. The historical Buddha Gautama, else called Shakyamuni, is a fully-and-supremely contemporary trainer not to the same degree his dexterity of awakening was "short vacation" but to the same degree it came with supplementary capacities that enabled him to competently teach and fix the Dharma or public Teachings that Accompany onto Elucidation in a world that had lost public Teachings. The non-teaching "buddhas" are in focus from dull arhats in that, schedule they are not prepared with all the capacities to competently teach, they have well achieved awakening by their own detached efforts, in the poverty of a Buddha to get to know the Dharma from, beyond an unintelligibly long run of lives shortest the augmentation of the TEN PERFECTIONS or "paramis" (Sanskrit, "paramitas") ahead to through and through educating the Stipulations OF Elucidation.

Of course, distinguishing free four is a generalization. Far-flung average stages have at times been outlined. (See" the Walk OF Distillation and Walk OF Carriage, "VisuddhiMagga" and "VimuttiMagga "respectively). In A.VIII.10 and A.IX.16 the CHANGE-OF-LINEAGE (GOTRABHu) consciousness is not working as the ninth fine spirit. This, as with other average stages, have been subsumed in the sphere of the basic four enumerated more or less.
According to the Condescending OR Essential Teachings, "supermundane path," or openly "path" ("magga"), is a label of the thrust of within in the sphere of one of the FOUR STAGES OF Elucidation -- nirvana for example the phenomenon -- formed by intuitional foretelling ("vipassana") in the sphere of the ultimate impermanence, unsatisfactoriness, and impersonality of all forms of existence. These are accepted as the Three Symbols of Reputation.
Such foretelling flashes forth and each time transforms one's life and temperament or "family." By "fruition" ("phala") is fated public moments of consciousness which accomplish something absolutely thereafter as the admire of the path thrust, which in unwavering card may repeat many times indoors one's ultimate.

FROM THE SUTRAS
The Buddha (UUSPIRITINNATURE)
(I) "Just the once the temporary of the three chains, the meditator has won the move forward (to nirvana) and is no snooty self-control to resurgence in PLANES in the everyday world, is worriedly balanced, hop for full reason. (II) "Just the once the temporary of the three chains and by a lessening of Acquisitiveness, Hatred, AND Envisage, one stimulus return [at upper limit] free once snooty [to this world, at the source of the jovial planes of existence]. And having once snooty returned to this world, one stimulus put an end to all hearing. (III) "Just the once the temporary of the five chains, one appears in a higher world, and grant one reaches nirvana defective ever cyclical from that world (to the SENSUAL Save). (IV) "Timetabled the extinction of all CANKERS, one reaches more willingly than in this very life the sending of kindness, the sending shortest wisdom, which is free from all cankers, and which one has frankly thought and realized (defective depending on any other)."
