I read the following (here) on the internet: > Not able to take on the Jīva (stand/robe of the Arahats, eg. right view, leaving home), what should/can a house/stand-maintainer expect to validate holy in his ways? The Pali suttas say: > And what, bhikkhus, are the fruits of the holy life? The fruit of > stream-entry, the fruit of once-returning, the fruit of nonreturning, > the fruit of arahantship. These are called the fruits of the holy > life. SN 45.39 The Pali suttas also refer to householders reaching stream-entry, once-returning & non-returning. Therefore, can a layperson/householder live the Holy Life (Brahmacariya) according to the Lord Buddha?
