Therefore, attention should be paid to the fact that Shaka preached his teachings taking into account people's patience (ability to listen to or understand his teachings) and as the term taiki-seppo (the best suitable expression of the teaching for the target audience) and Rinki Ohen (the best suitable action according to circumstances) indicate, he preached not necessarily in sequence.
したがって、対機説法（たいきせっぽう）、臨機応変という言葉が示すように釈迦仏が衆生の機根（教えを聞ける器、度合い）に応じて、教法を前後して説いたことを留意しなくてはならない。
