Chinese term or phrase: 利美阿闍黎资格

This is some kind of degree or achievement of one Buddhist monk. BTW I am amazed with the level of the discussion around this. Looks like it is a little bit more complicated than what I thought. Thank you everyone for your help.

Oh yes, 資格 might just be degree instead of qualification.
As stated in the Wiki article on Archarya:
Acharya (Degree)
In Sanskrit institutions Acharya is a Post Graduate Degree.
