Holy title in Tibet (4)

I believe the answer is:

lama

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

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