Tibetan or Mongolian priest (4)

I believe the answer is:

lama

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

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
