• 1) the existence of dying, as the first stage, is ultimate truth;

• 2) the existence of taking rebirth, as the next stage, is conventional truth; and

• 3) the existence of rebirth, as the last stage, involving childhood, youth and maturity, is the non-dual two truths. "

The five aspects of involvement (sometimes referred to as the 'five branches of involvement'). These are:

• 1) the dying state of existence as the ultimate truth,

• 2) the intermediate state of existence as the relative truth,

...and the reborn state of existence, which has three progressive stages, which make up the last three of this five which are:

• 3) the stage from taking birth to childhood,

• 4) the stage of youth and prime of life, and

• 5) the stage from adulthood to old age.
