願力迴向 [yuan li hui xiang]—Vow Power Transference/Eko—[Technical term] Also known as Other-Power Transference/Eko (他力迴向 [ta li hui xiang]). It means that Amitābha (彌陀 [mi tuo]), by the power of his fundamental vow (本願力 [ben yuan li]), gathers the myriad practices of the causal stage (因位 [yin wei]) and the myriad virtues of the fruition stage (果地 [guo de]) within his Name (名號 [ming hao]), and bestows them upon sentient beings (眾生 [zhong sheng]). Practice and faith (行信 [xing xin]), cause and effect (因果 [yin guo]), going forth (往相 [wang xiang]), and returning (還相 [hai xiang])—all originate from the Tathāgata's (如來 [ru lai]) pure vow-mind (清淨之願心 [qing jing zhi yuan xin]) and are transferred and bestowed upon sentient beings.

願力迴向—【術語】亦曰他力迴向。謂彌陀以本願力收因位之萬行,果地之萬德於名號內,與之於眾生也。行信,因果,往相,還相,皆自如來清淨之願心,迴施於眾生也。
