Firstly, in our society today, it is absolutely normal to see an individual act recklessly, which however is not indicative of the character of the group or the community that the individual is affiliated with. Besides, does it make sense to hold a religion accountable for the misconduct of a follower? Whether in Tibetan or Chinese Buddhism or other social groups, good and bad members always coexist. Can we portray Chinese Buddhism as a bad religion just because one monk does something wrong? A person’s wrongdoing is just a personal problem, not the problem of a certain school or Buddhism as a whole.
