Full-time Buddha

Enjoy the following video of "2016 Wake Up Earth Retreat, Plum Village".

I understand that the following monks and nuns are fully enlightened. They are the full-time Buddhas, not the part-time Buddhas. 

(monks): Thích Nhất Hạnh, Thầy Pháp Đăng, Thay Phap Dung, Thay Phap Linh, Thay Phap Huu

(nuns): Sister Chan Khong, Sister Dang Nghiem, Sister Hien Nghiem

Do you know other fully enlightened persons?

(notes): 
* a full-time Buddha: a person who has attained full enlightenment, nirvana, or the extinction of all notions.
* a part-time Buddha: a person who can revive awareness temporally but has not thrown away all notions yet.
