tantric priest[s] [IW]

tantric priests, priest [RY]

Tantric (Buddhist) priest, Mantrayāna priest, Mantric priest, Tantrayāna priest, Vajrayāna priest, priest of Secret Mantra (gsang sngags kyi btsun pa; but literally speaking, 'Tantric priest' or 'Mantrayāna priest' are the most accurate renderings of this term. 'Mantrayāna priest' has the advantage of directly implying that it is a (Tantric) Buddhist priest and not a non-Buddhist one.) [Erick Tsiknopoulos]
