Foguang Dictionary of Buddhism (佛光大辭典) 　指僧侶之住房或區院。十誦律卷三十四（大二三·二四九下）：‘諸比丘從x薩羅國向舍衛國，道中過一空僧坊中宿；諸比丘明日入村乞食，諸居士問：“汝何處宿？”答言：“僧坊中宿。”“是何房舍中宿？”答言：“某房中。”居士言：“此是我房，何不遣使語我等？”’依此，坊指僧坊，乃由眾多房舍所集合而成者。然‘坊’原義作‘堤防’，後轉謂城邑之一區段為坊；此或受梵語viha^ra（毗訶羅）翻譯之影響，蓋毗訶羅有住處、遊行處之義，後于外圍繞垣牆自成一區域，遂稱為僧坊或寶坊。後世日本將房、坊混用。﹝大方等大集經卷二十三、十誦律卷三十八、卷三十九、釋氏要覽卷上、翻譯名義集卷二十、慧琳音義卷二十二僧坊條﹞
