Losing enlightenment (possible?)
Losing enlightenment (possible?)
would like to ask if someone has known an enlightened being who lost it.
Is there any Buddhist texts about this?
I believe it can happen with some brain problem maybe.

Venerable fellows,
In Respect of the Triple Gems, Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha, in Respect of the Elders of the community _/\_ , my person tries to answer this question. Please, may all knowledgeable Venerables and Dhammika, out of compassion, correct my person, if something is not correct and fill also graps, if something is missing.

Actually many, most believing that they have found awakening, but actually didn't, of what ever stage, sooner or later will lose that, often very painful and sometimes having cut themselves off from any attaining. This being the reason the Buddha did not tell much on the matter that once having reached the stream (first stage of awakening) one is no more able to fall, right away destinated for full awakening, althought it could require another hardships within further 7 existences. So it's most empathized to focus on gaining right view, as the entrance and stick firm, till the "End" with the safe Bet (http://zugangzureinsicht.org/html/tipitaka/mn/mn.060.than_en.html), even there are many out there suggesting different and stay not by first things first (http://zugangzureinsicht.org/html/lib/authors/thanissaro/firstthingsfirst_en.html)
