Non-returner
The third of the four stages of Hinayana awakenment. The fourth and highest stage is the stage of arhat. The stage of the non-returner is the stage in which one has eliminated the desires and delusions of the world of desire. At this stage, one will not be reborn in the world of desire; hence the term “non-returner.” Instead one will be reborn in the world of form or the world of formlessness. The anagamin means not coming, not arriving, or not subject to returning.
