It is also called a meditation retreat (zhaizhai); 'zhai' has the sense of reverent stillness. Just as among Confucians a quiet room is called a study (shuzhai), or the place where government officials and magistrates deliberate in quiet governance is called a prefectural retreat (junzhai). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.162](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.1.162) - [Next: 1.164](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.1.164) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127~en-mt.1.163) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.1.163](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.1.163) · Pramāṇa
