Lama: Overview, Related Topics & Entities

Lama (Tibetan: བླ་མ་, Wylie: bla-ma) is a title bestowed to a realized practitioner of the Dharma in Tibetan Buddhism. Not all monks are lamas, while nuns and female practitioners can be recognized and entitled as lamas. The Tibetan word la-ma means "high mother", and reflects the qualities of the person who is called a lama.
