"If this doctrine should be attainable only for Lord Gautama and the monks and nuns, but not for his male and female adherents living the household life, then this holy life would be incomplete, just because of this. But because this doctrine may be attained by the Lord Gautama and the monks and nuns, as well as by the male and female adherents living the household life, therefore this holy life is perfect, just because of this."--Buddha, in Majjhima Nikaya
