《淨名經》云「迴向為大利，若向三有二乘，得利即少。今迴此善向於佛道，其利即大」故須迴向。又迴此善向一切眾生亦名大利，善若向已其福即少，迴善與他，他既無邊其利亦大。又迴此善向於實相亦名大利。所以然者，不向實相則成住著不動不出，不名為乘，其利則少；若知布施即是實相，實相無邊，施符實相之理，福亦無邊。迴向雖多要須此三也。

The *Vimalakīrti Sūtra* says: "Dedication is a great benefit. If one turns toward the three realms of existence or the two vehicles, the benefit gained is small. Now, turning this good toward the Buddha path, its benefit is great." Therefore, dedication is necessary. Moreover, turning this good toward all sentient beings is also called a great benefit: if the good is directed to oneself, its merit is small; if one turns the good over to others, since others are boundless, its benefit is also great. Furthermore, turning this good toward the true nature of reality is also called a great benefit. Why is this? If one does not turn toward the true nature of reality, one becomes attached, unmoving and unable to escape; it cannot be called a vehicle, and its benefit is small. If one knows that giving is itself the true nature of reality, then because the true nature of reality is boundless, the giving accords with the principle of the true nature of reality, and its merit is also boundless. Although forms of dedication are many, these three are essential.
