妙法蓮華經玄贊 9.499

9.499

贊曰：示言入滅還隱前化名至他國，遣言教使唱言入滅云汝父死，父實不滅暫息化故。

The Commentary says: This is declaring entry into extinction. Concealing his previous transformation once more is called "going to another country"; dispatching a messenger of his verbal teaching to proclaim his entry into extinction is saying, "Your father has died." The father does not actually perish, but merely pauses his transformation.
