Ajahn

Un Ajahn est, dans le vocabulaire bouddhique de la langue thaï, le synonyme du mot sanskrit ācārya, (maître), qui désigne un moine enseignant avancé dans la pratique du bouddhisme[1]. Il s'agit en fait de la prononciation thaï du mot ācārya ; ajahn est aussi transcrit āčhān[2].

Le terme sensei est utilisé dans le bouddhisme au Japon.
