&th line, describing a monastery
"In quest’area, denominata dal suo primo proprietario “Jetavana”, il “Bosco di Jeta” sorse un grande monastero: racchiuso in una cinta accessibile attraverso un triplice portale, era costituito dalle capanne di abitazione dei monaci, da una serie di padiglioni deputati ad accogliere i discorsi del Buddha, la meditazione, il capitolo, e dagli annessi di servizio, tra cui i bagni e numerosi pozzi. Ad avvalorare la presenza a Shravasti del Buddha concorrono una colonna monolitica sormontata da un leone e uno stupa, reliquiario a tumulo eretto da Ashoka."

chapter
to me, capitolo here refers to the "meeting" rather than to the room. In fact the sentence reads: "padiglioni deputati ad accogliere i discorsi del Buddha, la meditazione, il capitolo": Buddha speeches and meditation are "actions", not rooms, so these padiglioni are used for Buddha's speeches, meditation, chapter (meetings)...
That's why I suggest "chapter"
I'm not sure it can be referred to Buddhist monks, though (I'm not an expert in that field), but from what I read surfing the net it seems that it fits...

"it is a custom under the Rule of Saint Benedict that monks gather daily for a meeting to discuss monastery business, hear a sermon or lecture, or receive instructions from the abbot, and as the meeting begins with a reading of a chapter from the Rule, the meeting itself acquired the name "chapter," and the place where it is held, "chapter house" or "chapter room.""
