Vihara

Vihāra (Sanscritice विहार) plerumque est monasterium renuntiatorum Buddhisticorum (bhikkhu), quae notio antiqua in primis textibus Sanscriticis Palicisque invenitur, ubi ullum spatii vel loci voluptatis oblectationisque ordinem significat.^[2]^[3] Notio conceptum in architectura facta est, ubi ad textum monachorum pertinet, plerumque ad spatium apertum vel peristylium, praecipue in Buddhismo. Quod vocabulum etiam in litteris Ajivika^?, Hinduicis, et Iainisticis^[4] legitur.
