Manjushri is identified as the oldest and most significant Bodhisattva in Mahayana Buddhism literature.

Early Mahayana texts called “Prajnaparamita Sutra” referred to Manjushri as the embodiment of transcendent wisdom. Vimala, a pure land assigned to him by Lotus Sutra, is considered the one of two best pure lands that existed in the past, present, and future. Manjushri is considered a fully enlightened Bodhisattva and is greatly respected and worshipped as a “Meditational Deity”.

Augury is the practice from the ancient Roman religion of interpreting omens from the observed behaviour of birds. When the individual, known as the augur, interpreted these signs, it is referred to as "taking the auspices". "Auspices" (Latin auspicium) literally means "looking at birds", and Latin auspex, another word for "augur", literally means "one who looks at birds".

The "Mystic Tablet"

A Tibetan work, reproduced first in Waddell, "The Buddhism of Tibet...", p. 453, 

and then in Paul Carus, "Chinese thought", p 48

According to Paul Carus' explanation, it contains ― on the shield of a tortoise (alluding to the animal that has revealed the 八卦 Eight Trigrams to 伏羲 (~ 伏犧 ~ 伏戲) Fú Xī, and which was, in more canonical accounts, a "dragon horse") ― a chart with the 8 Trigrams, the 12 figures of Chinese animal cycle, etc. The centrepiece is another, smaller, tortoise, the one that revealed the 洛書 ㄌㄨㄛˋ ㄕㄨ Luoshu magic square to 夏禹 Yǔ the Great. Tibetan script appears in the centre of this diagram.

The stylisation of the 禄 lù or 子 ㄗˇ grapheme respectively means "prosperity", "furthering", "welfare" and "son", or "offspring". 字 zì, meaning "word" and "symbol", is a cognate of 子 ㄗˇ and represents a "son" enshrined under a "roof". The symbol is ultimately a representation of 北极 (Běijí) the north celestial pole and its spinning constellations, and as such it is equivalent to the Eurasian symbol of the swastika, 卍 wàn.
