What type of houses do Buddhists live in?

Answer 1

Buddhists come in many varieties and use many buildings. If you are looking for the Buddhist word for "temple" there is not one word that covers all types of buildings in which Buddhists gather. "Monastery" might be one of the more popular since the teaching is passed on monks. "Temples" are certainly out there. I know American Buddhists who meet in churches, meeting halls, Starbucks, colleges, and virtual worlds. In some parts of the world there are "stupas" which are buildings which house relics. But a word that is evolving to cover Western buildings is "sangha" which literally is the community (the people) who practice Buddhism but is coming, by extension, to mean the buildings in which they meet.

Answer 2

Buddhists have temples for communal practice, and home shrines (sometimes in a room set aside), but Buddhism must be practised as much as possible in everyday life, everywhere.
