Discussion
Non-Returner. A Noble who will not be reborn in the Desire Realm because they have extinguished all the afflictions of the Desire Realm. They may be reborn in the Form or Formless Realm, where they will attain Nirvana. This is the third of the four results of the Listener path. There are many divisions of non-returners--those bound for Form, bound for Formless, etc.
The suggestion of "never-returner" is not commonly encountered; non-returner is seen far more often, particularly in Theravada texts, and is preferable for that reason. "Not returning to samsara" is incorrect, as noted above.. DKC
