Pippala Stone House
畢波羅石房遺址
印度比哈爾邦
譯名為Pippala Stone House。位於印度比哈爾邦拉查基爾（Rajgir, Bihar）毗訶羅山（Vaibhava Hill）山麓，臨近竹林精舍。為佛陀弟子大迦葉尊者的修行處所；大迦葉尊者名「畢波羅」，因之命名。英國考古學家馬歇爾（John Marshall）於一九○五至一九○六年發掘並確定此地。
該石房以未切削的石塊堆疊於岩石上，平面呈矩形，高7公尺，面闊25公尺，進深26公尺。據馬歇爾的研究指出，該建築初為防禦用之瞭望塔，後來成為苦行僧修行之僧房。
根據《雜阿含經》記載，有一次大迦葉尊者生病，佛陀前往該處探視，並開示了七覺支，大迦葉尊者聽了之後便從病中康復。此處即為佛陀探病之處。
