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.
 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 legitur.
