ashram
( äsh'rəm)
n. Hinduism. 講經所
A usually secluded residence of a religious community and its guru.
[Sanskrit āśramaḥ : ā-, to + śramaḥ, toil, penance, austerity (from śramati, he toils, practices austerity).]
n. - 嬉皮群居村, 修行的處所, 聚會所
n. - アーシュラマ, 隠者の住居
他答:
ashram字源為梵文 आश्रमः (āśramaḥ)，此為 आश्रम ( āśrama) 的單數陽性主格，由ā- + śrama組合而成。 ā- 為梵文常用字首，表「從……；到……；至…… 」的意思。श्रम ( śrama) 的意思為「疲倦；練習；努力……。」華文中，出家修道者稱為沙門 ，即是由此字變化而來的श्रमण (śramaṇa)音譯而得，意思為勤息，義為努力修習。至於 āśramaḥ怎麼演變成「修行的處所」就無從查考了。
hc: 是"刻苦之練習"
