Religion founder (6)
I believe the answer is:
buddha
'religion founder' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for buddha that I've seen before include "Siddhartha Gautama (c 563-483 BC)" , "Founder of an Indian religion and philosophy" , "statue in temple" , "Gautama; his statue" , "Founder of a world religion" .)
