Yes, it sure would. Without a doubt.
So the Dalai Lamas error is thinking that because one limited technique of non-violence has failed, that there is no other except to meet force with force.
He didn't recommend meeting force with force. In fact his advice was quite different than that.
It is a personal error, as Buddhism understands this concept. He would not think this as a younger Tulkus.
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.
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.
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.
Perhaps they will need some warrior to nudge them into their next life as well, but that is not the job of a lama.
You've obviously never met my lama. LOL
“You’ve obviously never met my lama. LOL”
Yes, that is a strong possibility. He has served you well.
Oh look, an apple. Bye.
