In Buddhism, there are several categories of enlightened beings:
1. Buddha: The Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, is the founder of Buddhism. He attained enlightenment and became the awakened one, the fully enlightened being who discovered the path to liberation.
2. Arhat: An Arhat is an individual who has attained enlightenment and has overcome all defilements and attachments. Arhats are considered to have achieved liberation from the cycle of birth and death (samsara).
3. Bodhisattva: A Bodhisattva is an enlightened being who, out of compassion, chooses to postpone their own complete liberation from samsara in order to assist others in their spiritual journey. Bodhisattvas are revered for their altruism and dedication to the welfare of all sentient beings.
4. Mahasiddhas: In Tibetan Buddhism, Mahasiddhas are highly realized masters who have achieved extraordinary spiritual accomplishments through various methods and practices. They are known for their unconventional and profound spiritual insights.
