: Knowledge Traditions & Practices of India: Education: Systems & Practices痴颈丑腻谤补 (啶掂た啶灌ぞ啶�, 鈥渕onastary鈥�) forms part of the ancient Indian education system, which aimed at both the inner and the outer dimension of a person. Education in India started in the village itself in the home and in the temples. From there the aspiring student moved to gurukulas, centres of learning around great teachers and from there the aspiring scholar went to 惫颈丑腻谤补蝉 and universities.
During the Buddhist period, 惫颈丑腻谤补蝉 (monasteries) emerged as the chief centres of learning. Buddha encouraged the setting up of 惫颈丑腻谤补蝉, for monks and nuns to meditate and the learned to pursue their quest. Gradually the 惫颈丑腻谤补蝉 grew into centres of education that attracted students from far and wide. The great Indian universities of Nalanda, Vikramasila and Valabhi may have evolved around 惫颈丑腻谤补蝉 and the initiative of creating these came entirely from the society.

General definition (in Hinduism)
: WikiPedia: Hinduism痴颈丑腻谤补 is the Sanskrit and Pali term for a Buddhist monastery. It originally meant 鈥渁 secluded place in which to walk鈥�, and referred to 鈥渄wellings鈥� or 鈥渞efuges鈥� used by wandering monks during the rainy season. The northern Indian state of Bihar derives its name from the word 鈥渧ihara鈥�, due to the abundance of Buddhist monasteries in that area.
In the second century BCE a standard plan for a vihara was established. It could be either structural, which was more common in the south of India, or rock-cut like the chaitya-grihas of the Deccan. It consisted of a walled quadrangular court, flanked by small cells. The front wall was pierced by a door, the side facing it in later periods often incorporated a shrine for the image of the Buddha.
In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
: Dhamma Dana: Pali English GlossaryM Lodging, house (where bhikkhus live).
Usually, a vihara is constituted by a few lodgings, a sima, a great room where the laity can listen to some teachings, meditate, plan and accomplish some ceremonies, and sometimes with a kitchen and a dining room. A vihara can also appear into the shape of a small house or hut. In this case, we talk about a kuti.
vihara can possibly translate the word monastery.
: Pali Kanon: Manual of Buddhist Terms and Doctrines痴颈丑腻谤补 ('abode'). There are 3 abodes:
- the heavenly abode (dibba-惫颈丑腻谤补),
- the divine abode (brahma-惫颈丑腻谤补, q.v.),
- the noble abode (ariya-惫颈丑腻谤补).
See A.III.63; D.33.
Therav膩da 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).

- the abode of the saints (膩rya惫颈丑腻谤补).
Of these three types of abodes, the Buddha chooses the 膩rya惫颈丑腻谤补. But here, out of compassion (anukampa) for beings (sattva), he abides in the city of R膩ja驳峁沨补.

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鈥檚 words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources.

India history and geography
: archive.org: Personal and geographical names in the Gupta inscriptions痴颈丑腻谤补 (啶掂た啶灌ぞ啶�) refers to a name-ending for place-names mentioned in the Gupta inscriptions (reigned from 3rd century CE). 痴颈丑腻谤补 literally means 鈥渁 place of recreation or pleasure-ground鈥�. With Buddhists or Jains it means a monastery or temple, originally a hall where the monks met or walked about. Afterwards, these halls were used as assembly halls or places of worship. The modern province of Bihar or Behar is so named on account of the large number of Buddhist monasteries in it.
: Shodhganga: Ajanta鈥檚 antiquity痴颈丑腻谤补 (啶掂た啶灌ぞ啶�) is a general denotation for 鈥渞ock cut architecture鈥�. In the case of Ajant膩, 惫颈丑腻谤补 is used to denote everything else, which is bereft of a 蝉迟奴辫补 shrine. It means residential caves (耻辫腻艣谤补测补蝉) that must be without the Buddha shrines as well as those caves that are with the Buddha shrines.
痴颈丑腻谤补s or monasteries, not necessarily of the rock-cut types existed right from the times of the Buddha. Buddhist texts refer to the erection of many 惫颈丑腻谤补蝉. A merchant of Vai艣膩l墨 had presented a 惫颈丑腻谤补 to the Buddha in Jetavana for 惫补谤峁Ｄ乿腻蝉补, which was adorned beautifully and painted too. Buddhist texts mentions that for this 惫颈丑腻谤补, the Buddha himself had provided various specifications on the architectural and artistic details.
: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Indian Epigraphical Glossary痴颈丑腻谤补.鈥�(EI 22, 25; CII 3, 4; BL), a Buddhist or Jain monastery or temple or convent (EI 35). (HA), wandering of a Jain monk; also a Jain temple. Note: 惫颈丑腻谤补 is defined in the 鈥淚ndian epigraphical glossary鈥� as it can be found on ancient inscriptions commonly written in Sanskrit, Prakrit or Dravidian languages.
: What is India: Inscriptions of the 痴腻办腻峁璦办补蝉痴颈丑腻谤补 (啶掂た啶灌ぞ啶�) refers to a 鈥渢emples鈥� that were commonly build during the reign of the 痴腻办腻峁璦办补蝉 (mid-3rd century CE).鈥擜s shown elsewhere, the custom of building temples and 惫颈丑腻谤补蝉 in stone and brick was coming into vogue in the age of the 痴腻办腻峁璦办补蝉, but these materials do not seem to have been generally used for constructing dwelling places for the rich or the poor. Aja峁囜弓膩 painting show that palaces, houses as well as shops in market places were constructed of wood. As is well known, early Indian architecture was in wood. When 惫颈丑腻谤补蝉 and caityas came to be excavated in hills, many of the features of wooden architecture such as beams and rafters, unnecessary as they were in such excavations, were carved in stone. Wooden ribs can still be seen in some early caves such as the Caitya Cave at K膩rl膩.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
