Spiritual guide (4)

I think it could be either:

lama

guru

'spiritual guide' 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 "Tibetan spiritual leader" , "devout Buddhist" , "Religious leader" , "Holy man in Tibet" , "A Tibetan Buddhist priest or monk" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, The New York Times, the USA Today, The Daily Mail and the Evening Standard.
