Non-past, present and future

You can't get the heart of the past. If the past is the past, how can it be the past?

I can't get it now. If it is now, how can it be now?

The future is hard to get. If the future is the future, how can it be the future?

Translation:

The past, if it is already the past, how can it be mentioned again? If you can mention it, it's not the past.

Now, we say that the present era has passed. When did it stop now?

Even if nothing has happened in the future, how can I name it and want to master it?

Without the past, there is no present and no future. These are all divided from the perspective of our understanding. They are all impermanent, dreamlike and unreal.
