Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
po ti (པོ་ཏི) in Tibetan refers to the Sanskrit Pustaka (“book”) which represents one of the attributes of Mañjuśrīkīrti or Rigden Jampal Dragpa—one of the Twenty-five Kulikas as well as one of the traditional Shambhala rulers.—His attributes are a book (Sanskrit: pustaka; Tibetan poti [po ti] or legbam [glegs bam], pecha [dpe cha]) and a sword—as the only figure in the list possessing these two attributes. Mañjuśrīkīrti is together with the last Shambhala King Rudracakrī [Rudra Chakrin] a manifestation of the Bodhisattva Mañjuśrī. The book is in this case Tibetan religious text which is in an ornately carved wooden book cover.
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.

When the Buddha first returned to Kapilavastu (迦毘羅城 [jia pi luo cheng]), he renounced secular life along with over five hundred others, paid respects to his former servant Upali (優婆離 [you po li]) Bhikshu, had his head shaved, received the monastic precepts, and subsequently attained Arhatship (阿羅漢果 [a luo han guo]). See Sutra of a Hundred Causes (百緣經 [bai yuan jing]), Chapter 9.
Vana - [Miscellaneous Term] - translated as "forest" (林 [lin]). Tanxuan Ji (探玄記 [tan xuan ji]) Chapter 19 states: "Bhadrika is correctly pronounced Vana (婆那 [po na]). This means 'forest' (林 [lin])." Sanskrit Miscellaneous Names states: "Forest (林 [lin]) is Vani (縛尼 [fu ni])."
