Would it “trivialize the Buddhist religion by using it as a tool to manipulate temporal outcomes” any more than teaching?
I called terrorists tyrants with a very specific energetic meaning, because tyrants must expend enormous amounts of energy to be tyrants. Any refusal or resistance of any kind, that they cannot overcome with their limited resources, will quickly exhaust them. The form this resistance takes matters far less than it being resistant.
So the Dalai Lama’s error is thinking that because one limited technique of non-violence has failed, that there is no other except to meet force with force. It is a personal error, as Buddhism understands this concept. He would not think this as a younger Tulkus.
By focusing on the temporal, instead of the energetic, one is hypnotized by the illusion that there is anything but energy. But our illusions are the means by which we eventually understand this fact.
The terrorists, as I said, doubt their own faith in many cases, so by forcing them to look ever deeper into their illusions, it helps them to more quickly dispel them. The realization cannot be forced, but it can be assisted. How it is done is just technique.
There are many contrivances in Buddhism that were created solely to teach. There is no great reverence applied to them other than being good training aids. So why not extend them to non-Buddhists?
Terrorists are obviously having a hard time with their lives, perhaps all they need is a nudge to mosey on. Perhaps they will need some warrior to nudge them into their next life as well, but that is not the job of a lama.
Yes, it sure would. Without a doubt.

He didn't recommend meeting force with force. In fact his advice was quite different than that.

Hogwash on both counts. Being a Tulku means very little. It means one is a reincarnated lama. It has nothing to do with having done any study or practice. It is an honorary title and no study or practice is necessary to receive it.

Which is exactly why no Buddhist should use lies or deceit to manipulate someone for a temporal outcome. The cause and effect of doing that would be to strengthen the bonds of delusion. That would not just be bad karma that would be horrific karma.
How it is done is just technique.
Whatever. I guarantee you that no Buddhist worth his cushion, much less the Dalai Lama, would make up phoney baloney rituals, talismans or even false statements attributed to Buddhist teaching to accomplish a goal. That would be antithetical to the view.

You've obviously never met my lama. LOL
