梵音具云僧伽藍摩,此云眾園。則僧伽是能住之眾,藍摩是所住之園,斯則約能要所耳。寺者司也官舍也。以佛法初來,安鴻臚寺,後置僧舍,便以為名也。
In Sanskrit it is fully called saṅghārāma, translated here as "community park." Thus saṅgha is the community of residents, and ārāma is the park that is resided in; this merely condenses the residents into the residence. 'Temple' (si) means an office or official residence. Because when the Buddha-Dharma first arrived, it was lodged in the Court of State Ceremonial (Honglusi), when monasteries were established later, they took this as their name.
