If you're a householder, why wouldn't it be that way? ENlightenment should mean (in my understanding) that your dharma is in harmony with your lifestyle, and for a householder, comfort, wealth (to some extent), and other signs of relative success should be obvious. THat doesn't mean that the wealthy should be enlightened, but that someone who is enlightened within the householder tradition should be "well off" at least... ------------------------ Yahoo!
