# Sakadāgāmi (Once-returner)
> [!tldr] What is Sakadāgāmi?
> - The 2nd [[Magga Phala|fruit]] of Buddha's path
> - A Sakadāgāmi has removed the 3 lower [[Samyojana|Fetters]] and greatly reduced the 4th (sensual desires) and 5th (ill will)
> - One who doesn't **_Possess_** anything.
> - Hence, he doesn't **_Hold_** anything.
> - Hence, there won't be any **_sadness_** under any circumstance.
> - One who **gives NO _Value_ to anything** (mentioned in this [video](https://youtu.be/cMLdWVpITlc))
> - Hence possessive orientation goes away completly.
> - As **nothing is seen as "mine"**
> - A Sakadagami has **penetrated *Sankhara***, and see that through all the effort he's only collecting the 5 aggregates, and hence become disgusted with it and decided to drop it.
