言迴向者。以不著為義。原一切眾生備修萬行。捨身命財。所以不得解脫生死者。皆緣耽著果報不能捨離。若能不執其心。修行攝度。隨有微福迴施群生向於佛道者。則於果報不復生著。便於生死蕭然解脫。故經云。如所說修行。迴向為大利。是以一切所作善業。皆應迴向。兼勸眾生不著果報。何者。即此身形果報之本。終日養飼莊嚴彫飾。要必當死徒為保著。自非愚闇所以貪愛此身。少有慧明。何得無時不厭。以是智者撫臆論心。不容貪著迴流生死。

Regarding 'dedication', non-attachment is its meaning. As for all sentient beings who fully cultivate myriad practices, relinquishing their bodies, lives, and wealth, the reason they fail to attain liberation from birth and death is entirely that they are addicted and attached to the fruits of retribution, unable to relinquish them. If they can keep their minds unattached, cultivate and encompass deliverance, and wherever there is a slight merit, dedicate and bestow it upon all beings toward the Buddha Path, then they will no longer generate attachment to retributions, and will effortlessly attain liberation from birth and death. Hence a sūtra says: 'Cultivating practice according to what is expounded, dedication brings great benefit.' Therefore, all wholesome karma performed should be dedicated, and sentient beings should likewise be encouraged not to be attached to fruits of retribution. Why? This physical form itself is the root of retribution; nourished, fed, adorned, and embellished all day long, it must inevitably die, making preservation and attachment futile. Unless one is foolish and benighted, why covet and love this body? If one has even a little wisdom, how could one not weary of it at all times? Therefore the wise tap their chests and examine their minds, brooking no greed or attachment that would turn them back into the flow of birth and death.
