Priest of the East (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lama

'priest of the east' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

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

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
