房 [fang]—(fáng) — [Miscellaneous Name] The Shishi Yaolan (釋氏要覽 [shi shi yao lan]) states: "A fang is a side room, because it is located on both sides of the main hall (堂 [tang])." The Sarvastivada Vinaya (十誦 [shi song]) says: "A fang may belong to the sangha or to an individual." Therefore, fang (坊 [fang]) is the general term for a monastic compound, while fang is a specific room within a monk's residence (僧坊 [seng fang]). If multiple people reside together in one fang, it is said to "belong to the sangha"; if one person resides alone, it is said to "belong to an individual." Reclusive practitioners (遁世行人 [dun shi xing ren]) who are not affiliated with any particular temple (寺院 [si yuan]) often use this term.

房—【雜名】釋氏要覽上曰:「房旁也,在堂兩旁故。十誦云:房者或屬僧,或屬一人。」然則坊為一坊之總名,房乃僧坊中之別房,多人同居一房,曰屬僧,一人獨居曰屬一人。遁世行人無所帶之寺院者,多稱此號。

坊 [fang]—(fāng) — [Miscellaneous Term (雜名 [za ming])] The "Shishi Yaolan" (釋氏要覽 [shi shi yao lan]) states: "Sengfang" (僧 [seng]). The "Yunlin" (韻林 [yun lin]) says: "Fang" means "qu" (區 [qu]) (district/area). Master Yuan (苑師 [yuan shi]) says: "Fang" means "quyuan" (區院 [qu yuan]) (district/compound). A Buddhist temple (僧寺 [seng si]) is called a "baofang" (寶 [bao]) (precious quarters).

坊—【雜名】釋氏要覽上曰:「僧坊,韻林云:坊,區也。苑師云:坊,區院也。僧寺曰寶坊。」
