Field notes
The chronology is divided into six periods and 55 year groupings, with browsing routes for people, places, and canonical texts. Its date guide counts years from awakening by rainy-season retreats and says the age conversion assumes renunciation at 29 and awakening at 35; it also distinguishes dates explicitly stated in texts from later commentary, inferred order, and calculated ages.
