Emptybill, I read Vaj's post yesterday and I had no idea what he was talking about. A Stream Enterer sounded like Alien "Walk-in" to me, so I looked no further. You renewed my interest this morning and according to Google: "A stream-enterer is guaranteed enlightenment after no more than seven successive rebirths, and possibly in fewer. The stream-enterer can also be sure that he will not be reborn in any of the unhappy states or rebirths (an animal, a preta, or in hell). He can only be reborn as a human being, or in a heaven. The stream-enterer has attained an intuitive grasp of Buddhist doctrine (samyagdṛṣṭi or sammādiṭṭhi, "right view"), has complete confidence or Saddha in the Three Jewels of Buddha, Dhamma, and Sangha, and has good moral behaviour (Sila)." Buddhist sure know how to get down to details, don't they? So what is the relevance of the Wikipedia's definition to Vaj's use of the term "Stream Enterer" and is he partly correct or totally incorrect?
