發菩提心論云。過去已滅。未來未至。現在不住。雖如是觀心心數法生滅散壞。而常不捨聚集善根助菩提法。是名菩薩觀三世方便。

The Bodhicittotpādaśāstra states: "The past has already ceased; the future has not yet arrived; the present does not abide. Although one contemplates in this way the production, cessation, dispersion, and destruction of the mind and mental factors, one constantly never abandons gathering roots of good to aid the dharmas of bodhi. This is called the bodhisattva's skillful means of contemplating the three times."
