9.6

Regarding "The prior existence is before death and situated after the moment of rebirth": the existence resulting from past karma is called the prior existence. This prior existence precedes existence at death and follows existence at rebirth, and the aggregates in between constitute the essence of prior existence. "Existence at rebirth" refers to the aggregates of the single moment when rebirth is first received. "Existence at death" refers to the dying aggregates of the single moment of final demise. The desire and form realms are complete with all four existences; the formless realm lacks only intermediate existence, having the remaining three existences.
