Subhuti, what do you think? Is the Tathagata to be recognized by some material 
characteristic? No, World-honored One; the  Tathagata cannot be  recognized 
by any material characteristic. Wherefore? Because the  Tathagata has said 
that material characteristics are not, in fact, material characteristics. 
Buddha said:  Subhuti,  wheresoever are material characteristics there is 
delusion; but whoso perceives that all characteristics are in fact 
no-characteristics, perceives the Tathagata.
