The transfer of merit in Japanese is called Eko - literally turning around. It refers to the process of offering any merit we gain from our practice for the benefit of others. Traditionally this would include particular people who you wish to remember, as well as all beings. Here Daizan discusses what merit is, and what might happen when we start to turn that merit around and offer it for the benefit of all.
