Acarya / Acharya

“Teacher ormaster. Applied to an eminent priest who guides the student in conduct and sets an example for him.”

Dait: 5

“One of the two kinds of spiritual leaders known in Buddhism; the second type of teacher is the upadhyaya. Originally acharya was understood to mean a master of the Dharma, whereas the upadhyaya taught discipline and adherence to the rules.”
