金光明最勝王經疏 2.95

2.95

The commentary says: Resolving the difficulty. If they see the Buddha's cessation, they fear they will not meet him again and generate the thought of it being rare to encounter. Seeing him abide for a long time, they would then consider him to be permanently present, and would not give rise to the thought of him being rare and difficult to see, or the mind desiring to make offerings; therefore, they do not respect the Buddha. Since they do not respect him, they also do not consider the Dharma he taught to be rare to hear, and therefore they do not practice it.
