- Term
In The Benefits of the Five Precepts, this seems to be a general term, rather than the name of a particular place (unlike the Deer Park outside of Varanasi, where the Buddha first taught the Dharma). Although “deer park” is a common English rendering, it may have referred to a stretch of wilderness or a forest, perhaps within a park, where wild animals roamed freely.
