yes, there are 6 stages. six paths

the first 3 stages

1. do good deeds to help others,

2. follow "laws" including not drinking not eating meat--

3. yielding to or forgiving others.

if we do the three, we may be reincarnated into human domain again in the next life.

4. study to improve our understanding of the world and life

5. Chan Ding to meditate

6. reach wisdom/enlightment

we do the last 3 stages.

we enter buddhahood, we leave the cycle of reincarnation.
