In Indian religions and society, an acharya (IAST: ācārya; Sanskrit: आचार्य; Tamil: அசாரி ācāri; Pali: acariya) is a guide or instructor in religious matters; founder, or leader of a sect; or one who sits of gadi; or a highly learned man or a title affixed to the names of learned men.[1] The designation has different meanings in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and secular contexts.
Acharya is also used to address a teacher or a scholar in any discipline, e.g.: Bhaskaracharya, the mathematician. It is also a common suffix in brahmin (Vishwakarma) names, e.g.:Krishnamacharya, Bhattacharya. In South India, this suffix is sometimes shortened to Achar, e.g.: TKV Desikachar. Acharya is also used as surname. In the social order of some parts of India, acharyas are considered as the highest amongst the brahmin community, often described as the "shrestha brahman" i.e. best in brahmins. In Madhwa brahmins Acharya means a priestly person.
In Buddhism, the Pali variant acariya, lit. "teacher", is one of the two teachers of a novice monk, the other being the upādhyāya. In Mahayana traditions the epithet acharya was more widely used as an honorific indicating great scholastic renown; it was somewhat more general than the similar epithet paṇḍita. The Tibetan term loppön is used to translate acharya.
In Japanese esoteric Buddhism, the term is used for initiates: the Japanese Shingon sects employ the acharya title with its qualified priests who have completed training at Mount Koya, while for the Tendai sect it refers to training at Mount Hiei.

Dear all,
We have many with Acharya Titles bestowed in TBS.
Guru’s speeches include statements or pronouncement that most of these “have yet to yoga” with him!
In Guru’s book, [Sword of the Yogi], Guru also said many of these are listed in White Tara’s list of those descending to the 3 Lower Realms!
How best to define those in TBS?
This is my “bright” idea!
I will look at Guru and present him 3 “Astral Gifts” and Guru will also smilingly look at me, accepting each one.
Now all will have to write down these 3 “Astral Gifts” in their respective order of First; Second & Third; and what each item is.
Hahaha! We will then know how many can actually see and have really cultivated diligently all these while.
Hehe!
Anyone can take part!
Those with Titles but can’t see, strip of their titles immediately!
How did this idea originates?
Well, VM ZZ or our Monk, in many of my articles, told me that VM GG has Dharma Eyes opened. That was way back in early 2009.
However, VM GG still couldn’t see through ZZ and still partnered up with him to do rounds of events in several places!
Recently GG wrote that someone alleged that he named #2 as the hirer of the black magic attack on Guru.
From the latest event brochures, GG seems to have woken up and dissociated with ZZ.
ZZ lied about GG having Dharma Eyes for self interest of reaping off students who have to go through him to reach GG?
I am not saying that all Acharya should have already cultivated well, but at least they should meet the minimum requirement of being a learned teacher, able to impart Authentic Buddha Dharma to all, agree?
Hahaha! The Test will also screen out more cultivators who can truly be good learned teachers, agree?
This will exclude lots of “human factors” such as favoritism of Guru’s aides, “promoting” or “forcing Guru’s hand” in these “promotions” to Acharya, agree?
Hahaha!
Cheers all
