The use of the term priest in regard to the leaders of Buddhism is misleading. Priest implies a person dedicated to a god and the advancement of that god's agenda. Buddhism has no god - each person is on their own to reach enlightenment. Fortunately there are teachers and leaders who pass on the thoughts and learnings of previous scholars to help Buddhists understand the course they should set for their lives to minimize pain and suffering and be more skillful in their interactions with others. The leaders of Buddhism could be called monks, lamas, rinpoches, nuns or teachers.
