[77] Mindfulness Of Buddha Must Have Dedication Of Its Meritorious Virtues 念佛须回向

念佛须回向
[77] Mindfulness [Of] Buddha Must [Have] Dedication [Of Its Meritorious Virtues]

念佛、回向,不可偏废。

[On] recitation [of Āmítuó]fó[‘s name (阿弥陀佛) and] dedication, [there] must not [be] partial neglecting [of either].

回向即信愿之发于口者。

Dedication [is] thus that giving rise of Faith [and] Aspiration from [the] mouth.

然回向只宜于夜课毕,及日中念佛诵经毕后行之。

However, dedication [is] only suitable at night chanting [practice’s] end, and within [the] day’s recitation [of Āmítuó]fó[‘s name and] recitation [of] sūtras’ end, after [then] practising it.

念佛当从朝至暮不间断,其心中但具愿生之念,即是常时回向。

[With] recitation [of Āmítuó]fó[‘s name, that] should [be] from dawn till dusk uninterrupted, this mind within, only possessing [the] thought of Aspiration [for] birth [in his Pure Land, this] then is constant dedication.
