Next, the suffering of aging is explained, first questioned and then discerned. Within this, the first two are distinguished as coarse and subtle: the gradual decline and alteration moment by moment from beginning to end is called "moment-to-moment aging"; the exhaustion of a single retribution when one's years decline and faculties ripen is called "lifelong aging." The latter two are distinguished with respect to differences in time: the occurrences of decline and alteration from the beginning up until the prime of life are called "growing aging"; after years decline, it is called "decaying aging."
