In the third [section], "Explaining the Periods of Time," in treatises generally there are three: first, the three times according to reason, wherein the past and future times are stated conventionally according to the sense of past and future in the seeds—future existence is called the future, past existence is called the past, and present existence is called the present—because the three are conceptually stated with respect to present phenomena; second, based on supernatural powers, when such knowledge arises, inherently all have such capacity, and what is seen is entirely real, not the manifestation of a former erroneous consciousness; because of extensive cultivation of these past and future phenomena, they are naturally capable of appearing, and in accordance with the amount of time of their momentum, in actual truth both the cognizing and cognized phenomena exist solely in the present; third, based on consciousness-only, although this principle applies, still, apart from the former two, there is a separate distinct essence: the manifestation of the discriminating, erroneous mind resembling past and future aspects is actually solely present.
