Dalai ___ (spiritual leader) (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lama

(Other definitions for lama that I've seen before include "Dalai . . . ., chief priest and once ruler of Tibet" , "A Buddhist priest in Tibet (4)" , "devout Buddhist" , "A Tibetan Buddhist priest or monk" , "Tibetan high priest" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
