A LAMA ("la" means Mr and "ma" means mother in Tibetan), so Mr Mother is the title for a Tibetan teacher of Dharma (the principle or law that orders the universe, though this is a very simple definition).

The term is usually used for venerated spiritual masters or the heads of Buddhist monasteries, though it is sometimes used to refer to a Buddhist monk or nun.
