"Then Subhuti asked Buddha: World-honored One, in the attainment of the Consumation of Incomparable Enlightenment did Buddha make no acquisition whatsoever?"
"Buddha replied: Just so, Subhuti. Through the Consumation of Incomparable Enlightenment I acquired not even the least thing: wherefore it is called Consumation of Incomparable Enlightenment."
The quote is from the 22nd chapter of the Diamond Sutra, entitled "It Cannot be Said that Anything is Attainable."
