Exiled Tibetan cleric (5,4)

I believe the answer is:

dalai lama

(Other definitions for dalai lama that I've seen before include "'Spiritual leader of Tibet (5,4)'" , "Tibetan exile" , "Tibetan Buddhist leader, meaning ocean monk" , "Spiritual leader of Tibetans" , "Titular Tibetan" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
