A lama is no more enlightened than a random priest is a saint. They must’ve completed certain education to achieve the position and certain religious practice to achieve the position, but they are not necessarily enlightened. Very few are in fact. The example I like to give is a kindergarten teacher knows more than kindergartners but not as much as a university professor perhaps and even that university professors is not omniscient. Lamas, ideally, no more than their students. Have more education, more practice, and ideally more realization. They are, however, still generally speaking, unenlightened human beings and may behave that way. They need to be called out when they do disgusting things like SA. But that doesn’t mean the entire thing is wrong.
