(The Lotus Sutra - Chapter XVI The Lifespan of the Tathāgata 2)

“O sons of a virtuousfamily! The lifespan that I first attained through practicing the bodhisattva path has not yet expired. It is twice as great as the number previously mentioned. Although I do not actually enter parinirvāṇa I proclaim that I do. It is through this skillful means that the Tathāgata leads and inspires sentient beings. 

“Why is this? Because if the Buddha abides a long time in this world, those who have few qualities do not plant roots of good merit, acquire poor and superficial characters, are attached to the desires of the five senses, and enter into the web of illusions and false views. If they see the Tathāgata always existing without extinction, they then become proud, self-willed, and negligent. The thought that the Buddha is difficult to meet and that he is to be respected cannot awaken in them. That is why the Tathāgata teaches through skillful means, saying: O monks! You should know that the appearance of the buddhas in the world is very difficult to encounter. 

“Why is this? Because some of those with little merit may not see the Buddha during the passage of immeasurable hundreds of thousands of myriads of koṭis of kalpas. For this reason I say: O monks! It is difficult to meet the Tathāgata.

“Hearing such words, the thought that it is very difficult to meet the Tathāgata will certainly awaken in these sentient beings. Longing and yearning for the Buddha, they will plant roots of good merit. For this reason, although the Tathāgata does not really pass into extinction, he nevertheless says he does. 

(妙法蓮華經第十六品 如來壽量之2)

諸善男子。我本行菩薩道所成壽命。今猶未盡復倍上數。然今非實滅度。而便唱言當取滅度。如來以是方便教化眾生。所以者何。若佛久住於世。薄德之人不種善根。貧窮下賤貪著五欲。入於憶想妄見網中。若見如來常在不滅。便起憍恣而懷厭怠。不能生難遭之想恭敬之心。是故如來以方便說。比丘當知。諸佛出世難可值遇。所以者何。諸薄德人。過無量百千萬億劫。或有見佛或不見者。以此事故我作是言。諸比丘。如來難可得見。斯眾生等聞如是語。必當生於難遭之想。心懷戀慕渴仰於佛。便種善根。是故如來。雖不實滅而言滅度。
