妙法蓮華經玄贊 8.296

8.296

Although it designates a general title, it is a specific name, because there is no other distinct capacity. Other chapters have other distinct meanings by which they can be named, not to mention that here both person and Dharma are praised as worthy of being teachers. Furthermore, in the "Upholding Chapter", expounding the Dharma in the present is called "upholding", whereas here, encouraging and praising superior capacities after the extinction is called the "Dharma Teacher Chapter".
