In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Na means no, none, nothing.
Theravāda is a major branch of Buddhism having the the Pali canon (tipitaka) as their canonical literature, which includes the vinaya-pitaka (monastic rules), the sutta-pitaka (Buddhist sermons) and the abhidhamma-pitaka (philosophy and psychology).
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Na (न) is the name of a Vākchomā (‘verbal secrect sign’) which has its meaning defined as ‘nara’ according to chapter 8 of the 9th-century Vajraḍākamahātantrarāja, a scripture belonging to the Buddhist Cakrasaṃvara (or Saṃvara) scriptural cycle. These Vākchomās (viz., na) are meant for verbal communication and can be regarded as popular signs, since they can be found in the three biggest works of the Cakrasaṃvara literature.
Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug. Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha’s words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (vajrayāna) are collected indepently.

衲 [na]—(nà)—【衣服 [yi fu]】(yīfu) The rag robe (糞掃衣 [fen sao yi]) of a bhikku (比丘 [bi qiu]) is called a "Na Yi" (納衣 [na yi]). The character 納 [na] is commonly written as . Wearing a 衣 [yi] (nàyī) is one of the twelve Dhutanga (頭陀行 [tou tuo xing]) ascetic practices, hence it became a general term for monastic robes (僧衣 [seng yi]). Moreover, Chan monks (禪僧 [chan seng]) often wear 衣 [yi], so they are referred to as 僧 [seng] (nàsēng) or 子 [zi] (nàzǐ).
衲—【衣服】比丘之糞掃衣謂之納衣，納俗作衲。著衲衣者為十二頭陀行之一，故以為僧衣之都名，又禪僧多著衲衣，故稱曰衲僧衲子。

那 [na]—Nā—[Technical Term] [?] Also written as 娜 [na], 拏 [na], or 曩 [nang]. It is one of the fifty Siddham (悉曇 [xi tan]) characters, one of the thirty-five fundamental characters (體文 [ti wen]), and the fifth character of the guttural sounds (喉聲 [hou sheng]). The Vajrasekhara Sutra (金剛頂經 [jin gang ding jing]) states: "The syllable Nām (曩字門 [nang zi men]) signifies that the names of all dharmas are unobtainable (一切法名不可得故 [yi qie fa ming bu ke de gu])." This is explained by Nāman (名 [ming], name). The Mahaparinirvana Sutra (涅槃經 [nie pan jing]) states: "Nā signifies that the Three Jewels (三寶 [san bao]) abide without wavering, like a doorframe (門閫 [men kun]), hence it is called Nā." The Mahāprajñāpāramitā Upadeśa (智度論 [zhi du lun]), Chapter 48, states: "If one hears the syllable Nā, one knows that all dharmas neither attain nor lose, neither come nor go (不得不失不來不去 [bu de bu shi bu lai bu qu]). Nā, in Qin (Chinese) language, means 'no' (秦言不 [qin yan bu])." The Commentary on the Mahavairocana Sutra (大日經疏 [da ri jing shu]), Chapter 9, states: "Nām (曩 [nang]) means 'nothingness' (無 [wu])." All these interpretations are derived from the negative prefix Na (否定之接頭語 [fou ding zhi jie tou yu]).
那—【術語】 [?]Na，又作娜，拏，曩。悉曇五十字門之一，體文三十五字之一，屬喉聲之第五。金剛頂經曰：「曩字門一切法名不可得故。」此由 Nāman（名）釋之。涅槃經曰：「那者，三寶安住無有傾動，喻如門閫，是故名那。」智度論四十八曰：「若聞那字，即知一切法不得不失不來不去。那，秦言不。」大日經疏九曰：「曩，無也。」等由否定之接頭語 Na 釋之。

娜 [na]—Na — [Term] [?]Da, also written as Tuó (陀 [tuo]) or Nà (捺 [na]), is one of the fifty characters (syllables) of the Siddham (悉曇五十字門 [xi tan wu shi zi men]) script.

What the Mañjuśrīparipṛcchā Sutra (文殊問經 [wen shu wen jing]) refers to as "when uttering the character Na (稱字時 [cheng zi shi]), it is the sound of giving, taming, discipline, tranquility, and peace (是施調伏律仪寂静安隐声 [shi shi diao fu lu yi ji jing an yin sheng])" is explained from the word Dama (調伏 [diao fu], taming).
娜—【術語】 [?]Da，又作陀、捺，悉曇五十字門之一。大日經所謂「那字門一切法施不可得故」者，自 Dāna（布施）釋之。文殊問經所謂「稱娜字時是施調伏律儀寂靜安隱聲」者，自 Dama（調伏）釋之。

A Bahal is a type of ‘enclosed courtyard’ or ‘sacred monastery’ constructed according to traditional Newari Architecture and hence found primarily in Nepal amongst Newar communities. These buildings play a big role in maintaining the norms of their society and lifestyle. There is a common list of eighteen major such Temples (bahals) found in Old Kathmandu.

Na (in the Newari language) translates to “Eat” (in English); as mentioned in the appendix of the translation of the Vanshavali or Bansawali (“history and genealogical accounts of Nepal”). The Newari word ‘Na’ is known in the Parbatiya language as Khau.
Na-bahal (in Sanskrit: Padmāvatī-vihāra) is the name of a Bāhā (i.e., a sacred courtyard in the Newari community where Buddhist priests reside) situated in Patan.—The valley of Kathmandu is known as “Nepal Mandala”, encircling the three cities of Kathmandu (northwest), Patan (Lalitpur) (south) and Bhaktapur (east). The Vihāras, Bāhās and Bahīs were, and still are, the centre for Buddhist activities and also dwelling place of the monks or monastics. For example, the Na-bahal, which is known in Sanskrit as Padmāvatī-vihāra. These monstaries, courtyards and other buildings possess a central place in Buddhism and were mostly situated within the vicinity of these three cities.
Na-baha also refers to the following:
(a) Siddhivara-vihāra, situated in Gophal Tola, Kathmandu.
(b) Jñānacakra-vihāra, situated in the villages near the Bhaktapur (Sankhu) region of the “Nepal Mandala”.

It primarily exists in compound forms, such as table salt (食鹽 [shi yan]). It can also be used as a reducing agent (還原劑 [hai yuan ji]) and a heat exchange agent (熱交換劑 [re jiao huan ji]), with a wide range of applications.
鈉：[名]
