Jetsun
Jetsun/ma (Standard Tibetan: རྗེ་བཙུན་/རྗེ་བཙུན་མ་; Wylie transliteration: rJe-btsun/ma; the "ma" suffix denotes femininity) is a Tibetan title meaning "venerable" or "reverend." It is a specific term applied to revered teachers of Tibetan Buddhism. The title is applied to hermits and learned lamas such as Jetsun Milarepa. "Je" (Wylie transliteration: rJe) refers to those of high rank, including kings and nobles; "tsun" (Wylie transliteration: bTsun) refers to 1) those of noble rank, 2) those who are monastics, or 3) those who combine the three characteristics of being learned, noble, and good. The two together emphasize the honorific while "tsun" applies the term specifically to ecclesiastics.[1]
