<upd_detl>The usual translation of 功徳/利益(りやく) is "merit". 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merit_(Buddhism)
"Merit is a force that results from good deeds done"
I don't think "grace" is a good translation for this because of the connotations of unconditional love. There's nothing unconditional 
about Buddhist merit, you have to the good deeds to get it.</upd_detl>
<upd_refs>daij wiki gg5 世界大百科事典 brit etc.
brit: 仏教用語。善根を積むことによって報いられる功能福徳の意。属性，性質を意味するサンスクリット語グナ guṇaの訳語。それが「良い性質」「善いこと」の意
に用いられ，さらに「利益」「すぐれた点」の意に転じて用いられた。
daijs: "以前によいことをしたために、実現したよい報い。神仏が与えるよい報い。"

<upd_refs>My mistake. "merit" is sense 1, see
功徳蔵　in daijr: 
〘仏〙 ① 功徳を積んだもの。
(and daijr's 功徳 entry is
① よい果報を得られるような善行。普通、供養くよう・布施ふせの類をいう。 「 －を施す」 ② 以前によいことをしたために、実現したよい報い。神仏が与えるよい
報い。)</upd_refs>
