Chapters 27 Attainment of enlightenment based on bodily characteristics

"Subhūti, if you think that the Tathāgata attains peerless perfect enlightenment based on the perfection of bodily characteristics, then, Subhūti, you should not think like this, because the Tathāgata does not attain peerless perfect enlightenment based on the perfection of bodily characteristics. Subhūti, if you think that one who gives rise to peerless perfect enlightenment claims the extinction of all marks of phenomena, you should not think like this. Why? The person who gives rise to the intention for peerless perfect enlightenment does not claim the extinction of the marks of phenomena."
