Bhavan
Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature
is the exercise of meditation enjoined upon the Buddhist priests. At the close of the day, or at the dawn, they must seek a place where they will be free from interruption, and, with the body in a suitable posture, they must meditate on the glory of Buddha, the excellence of the bana (q.v.), and the virtues of the priesthood.
