Hi Lal,
If a Sotāpanna attains the first Ariya jhana, he is essentially an Anagami already, right?
Your post Power of the Human Mind – Ariya Jhanas has mentioned…
“9. One gets to the first Ariya jhāna by removing (uccēda pahāna) kama raga, whereas one can get to the first anariya jhāna by suppressing (vikkhambana pahāna) kāma rāga. Therefore, one will be an Anāgami by the time one gets to the first Ariya jhāna.”
But what if the meditator has completely removed kama raga but not patigha? Does it qualify him as a Sakadagami?
