H. P. Blavatsky
Vihâra. Any place inhabited by Buddhist priests or ascetics; a Buddhist temple, generally a rock‐temple or cave. A monastery, or a nunnery also. One finds in these days Vihâras built in the enclosures of monasteries and academies for Buddhist training in towns and cities; but in days of yore they were to be met with only in unfrequented wild jungles, on mountain tops, and in the most deserted places.
