【修持轨理】第七支回向

【回向支者，「所有礼赞」等一颂。】
那是「所有礼赞供养佛，请佛住世转法轮，随喜忏悔诸善根，回向众生及佛道。」在我们十大愿王当中，这个有很长的一段，很长的一段，常随佛学、恒顺众生、普皆回向，都在里头，那么他现在呢总摄起来。

【以上六支善。】
把上面那个六个。

【表举所有一切善根，】
的的确确，上面是所有的善根，统统包括在里头了。

【悉与一切有情共同，以猛利欲乐回向令成大菩提因，永无罄尽。】
把上面的所有这些东西收集起来，回向于什么？回向一切有情，共同的，包括我在里头。以「猛利」的「欲乐」，这四个字注意，前面已经说过了。平常我们为什么没有力量，心里面就是松松懈懈的，浮浮泛泛的，就这个样。是！这个就是无始以来的习气，这是等流心识，就是提不起来。

【The Meditation Session】
The seventh branch of worship, dedication

【The next verse expresses the seventh branch of worship, dedication:
Whatever merit I have accumulated, …】

That is "Whatever merit I have accumulated, however slight, from obeisance, offering, confession, rejoicing, imploring, and supplication – I dedicate it all to enlightenment". In our Ten Great Prayers, this part is very long, very long. It includes "constant learning of the teachings," "to always benefit all beings," and "dedications for all." These are all included in this branch. So this [branch] summarizes them.

So it takes all the previous six branches.
Certainly, the above includes all the roots of virtue, and they are all included in here.

【Dedication refers to never exhausting any of the roots of virtue—which are illustrated by the above six branches of worship—because you have dedicated them with strong aspiration as causes of complete enlightenment for yourself and all living beings. 】

We can gather all that were mentioned earlier and dedicate them to what? We dedicate them to all living beings as a collective whole, which also includes myself. With "strong aspiration," note these words. This was explained earlier. Why is it that there isn't much power [in our practice]? That is because our mind is lax and inattentive. Just like that. Yes! This is our habitual tendency from beginningless time, that is the causally concordant consciousness - we just cannot perk ourselves.
