戒堂

戒堂是佛教庙宇建筑的一种，多见于南传上座部寺庙，是僧人受戒、诵经之场所^[1]^[2]。根据戒律的规定，戒堂是僧团集结行业之划界（sīmā）^[3]。

各地传统

缅甸语中，戒堂称为“登”（缅甸语：သိမ်；Thein），来自巴利语的sīmā，意译为“界”。在缅甸以奘房为中心的佛寺中，戒堂是重要且常见的建筑，但亦有独立而建的做法^[2]^[4]。缅甸掸族寺庙的戒堂称为“辛”（သိမ်ႇ；Sim），是专为僧人活动而设的场所^[5]^[6]。

在泰国，戒堂称为“乌博索”（泰语：อุโบสถ；Ubosot）或“博”（โบสถ์；Bot），源自巴利语的uposathāgāra，意为举行布萨仪式的场所^[7]。戒堂是泰民族的洼寺式庙宇的主要建筑，亦用作公共用途^[2]^[5] 。在泰国中部的佛寺中，戒堂是全寺的中心；泰北寺庙则以舍利塔为中心^[5]。寺庙中最重要的佛像就通常在戒堂中供奉。

老挝和泰国东北的依善地区称戒堂为“辛”（老挝语：ສິມ；泰语：สิม）。

泰老民族的传统是用八块镇邪石（ใบเสมา；Bai sema）划定戒堂的结界。这种做法可以追溯到陀罗钵地文明时期^[3]。在南传佛教寺庙中，精舍和戒堂都是供奉佛像的主要礼佛场所，二者最大的区别即戒堂周围是有镇邪石划出结界的。
