So a Lama is basically a Mother Superior!
(Reference: An Abbess (Latin: abbatissa), also known as a Mother Superior, is the female superior of a community of Catholic nuns in an abbey.
Also:
A Catholic nun who is elected to head her religious house is termed an abbess if the house is an abbey, a prioress if it is a monastery, or more generically may be referred to as "Mother Superior" and styled "Reverend Mother".)

[@Buddhist_Philosopher]

No, Lama is a teacher. Abbess are Khenpos.
