申瑟知林 [shen se zhi lin]—Shensezhilin — [Place Name] Yaṣṭi-vana, also known as Shennulin (申怒林 [shen nu lin]), Shennubolin (申怒波林 [shen nu bo lin]), or Staff Forest (杖林 [zhang lin]). Here, bamboo staff heretics (竹杖外道 [zhu zhang wai dao]) attempted to measure the Buddha's height (量佛之身量 [liang fu zhi shen liang]). The Records of Sakyamuni's Deeds (釋迦方志 [shi jia fang zhi]) states: "Shensezhilin means Staff Forest. Once, in a valley filled with trees, someone tried to measure the Buddha with an eighteen-foot bamboo staff (丈六竹杖 [zhang liu zhu zhang]), but the Buddha always exceeded the staff (恒出杖表 [heng chu zhang biao]). So, they threw the staff (投杖 [tou zhang]) away, and it took root and covered the mountain (生根被山 [sheng gen bei shan])." Xuanying's Glossary of Buddhist Terms (玄應音義 [xuan ying yin yi]) Volume 18 states: "Shennu is also called Shennubo, which is translated here as 'real forest' (實森 [shi sen]), meaning 'genuine and true' (貞實 [zhen shi])."
申瑟知林—【地名】Yaṣṭi－vana，又作申怒林，申怒波林，杖林名。竹杖外道於此量佛之身量。釋迦方志下曰：「申瑟知林，言杖林也。滿山谷，昔有人以丈六竹杖量佛，而恒出杖表。因投杖去，遂生根被山。」玄應音義十八曰：「申怒亦言申怒波，此譯云實森，謂貞實也。」

Its texts are mainly in Classical Chinese, based on translations from Sanskrit. Major schools include Chan (Zen), Pure Land, Tiantai, and Huayan.
