靈修者


Explanation:
由於靈修者仍然在道的途中尋求上師的指引,此詞彙似乎較符合asker所賦予的英文定義。靈修者除了被動的追尋外,尚有些自己仍需主動努力的味道,那麼和seeker用在一般的文章中的意義就有稍許微妙的不同。

悟道者


Explanation:
1.Gain means acquire.
2.悟道[grasp the truth] 领会道理,佛教指领会佛理. E.g.悟道成佛.
3.Follow the spiritual guru,应该是领悟其spirituality,得到那些只可意会不可言传的东西,即gain insight 。
4.因此,悟道者更恰当些。
