Trungpa Rinpoche appointed a successor, Osel Tendzin (Wikipedia) who had “contracted HIV and for nearly three years knew it, yet continued to have unprotected sex with his students without informing them.

Look within yourself and ask what this narrative you decided to post here has to do with any word uttered in this teaching. Teachings are judged on their own merits. There is no such a thing as "perfect" human from the perspective of anyones imposed ideals. There is no perfect Mahasidda from the perpective of the worldly.

Whether anyone agrees with everything he or any other living being has ever done is not of relevance here.
That's a much too simplistic view of who he was, and what he did during his relatively short life. Let's say he was an alcoholic. Now let's examine our own attitudes about how we feel about alcoholics.

Those works include a clear, accessible, totally pertinent way for we human beings to do a good job of caring for ourselves, and all other sentient beings.

So what even if he died??? Dying is natural. Everyone in this world who takes birth is for dying. Dying is just a natural event, what people take it so hardcore. Even drinking alcohol is just a natural thing because mankind discovered it. Until you find the truth of entire existential, you will feel delusion and materialistic suffering (byproduct).
He lost all the theoretical spiritual insight and gave his life to addiction. A great contradiction. and a great contradiction denies the whole doctrine if anybody was enlightened.
How do you know he did. Do you know the path? Do you know all the ways to follow the path? It doesn't matter to Rinpoche whether you accept his teachings or not. It affects only you, whether you can afford to lose an precious explanation of the path out of suffering for all beings because of closing your mind. Perhaps you can follow a different teacher.
You try speaking in a second language about a highly complex, highly profound philosophical perspective, be entire lucid and eloquent, while supposedly "wasted". He drank, of course, but according to his close students (one of whom I studied with), he didn't drink to get wasted. That wasnt point of it. People that drink to get wasted want to get rid of something from consciousness (sadness, misery, boredom, anger etc), he drank to highten consciousness while suffering chronic pain.
Such a Magnificent Perfect Teaching .. and Rinpoche’s English is impressively subtle . Thank you for publishing again and again ❤

He died at the age of 48 mostly due to alcoholism!!
