念佛须回向
[77] Mindfulness [Of] Buddha Must [Have] Dedication [Of Its Meritorious Virtues]
念佛、回向，不可偏废。
[With] mindfulness [of the] Buddha[‘s name (Āmítuófó), [then having] dedication [of its meritorious virtues, there] must not [be] partial neglecting [of either].
回向即信愿之发于口者。
Dedication then [is] that giving rise of Faith [and] Aspiration, [as] expressed 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 recitation [practice’s] end, and [in the] day within, [having] mindfulness [of] Buddha [and] recitation [of] sūtras, after [they] end, [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] mindfulness [of] Buddha from dawn till dusk uninterrupted, [with] this mind within only complete [with the] thought of Aspiration [for] birth [in Pure Land, this] then is [to have] constant dedication.
