However, the above time-series classification was made simply based on the time, descriptions relevant to time and places that are described in scriptures together with their contents, it does not necessarily mean that Shaka actually preached in this order.
ただしこれは、経典に書かれている時間・時期的な記述や場所、またその内容から、あくまでも順序だてて分けただけで、必ずしも釈迦が絶対的に必ずその順番で説いたわけではない。
