The Lord said, “What do you think, Subhūti? Can a Realized One be seen by virtue of the possession of distinctive features?”
He said, “No, Lord, a Realized One cannot be seen by virtue of the possession of distinctive features.
Why is that? What the Realized One has preached as the possession of distinctive features has been preached by the Realized One as lacking the possession of distinctive features. That is why it is called the possession of distinctive features.”
