A Buddha is someone who is fully enlightened. A person who is fully enlightened, but not the Buddha of our time, is called an Arahant in Pali. Such a person has eradicated all ten hindrances to enlightenment:
 
  
    The belief in a permanent personality, ego
 
    Doubt, extreme skepticism
 
    Attachment to rites, rituals, and ceremonies
 
    Attachment to sense desires
 
    Ill-will, anger
 
    Craving for existence in the Form world (heavenly realms)
 
    Craving for existence in the Formless world (heavenly realms)
 
    Conceit
 
    Restlessness
 
    Ignorance
 
  
(from Anguttara Nikaya 10.13)
 
  
An anagami (non-returner) has completely eradicated the first five hindrances and never returns to earth or any other world system (planet, solar system). Such a person is re-born to a heavenly realm and attains enlightenment from there.
 
  
A sakadagami (once-returner) has eradicated the first three hindrances and greatly weakened the fourth and fifth; attachment to sense desires and ill-will. Such a person will be re-born to either the human or heavenly realm and will attain enlightenment there.
 
  
A sotapanna (stream-entrant) has eradicated the first three hindrances and will be re-born no more than seven more times and re-birth will either be as a human or a deva in a heavenly realm.
