Dalai Lama isn’t perfect only because it is considered a manifestation of Avalokitesvara, and he does sometimes eat meat for medical reasons, although I, as a physician, don’t know of any condition that forces someone to eat meat. Anyway I’m not from a Tibetan tradition, so I don’t know much about spiritual leaders in that branch of Buddhism.
