The Dhātuvibhaṅga Sutta is a deeply moving and touching account of how a pupil recognizes his teacher through his teaching, how the wise recognize the Buddha through the Dharma. Pukkusāti (a former king), who has gone forth out of faith in the Buddha but has never met him, journeys to meet him. They meet halfway in a humble potter's shed, where both of them started off with sitting in meditation.
The Buddha sees that Pukkusāti is ripe for awakening, and gives him a special teaching without revealing himself. The discourse is essentially on what constitutes a person and an awakened saint.
This sutta is from the The Majjhima Nikaya 140, or "Middle-length Discourses" of the Buddha - translated by Bhikkhu Bodhi
