Fifth Dalai Lama quotes

Can anyone validate these?
Pretty harsh for an enlightened being, whatever that is supposed to be
[Of those in] the band of enemies, who have despoiled the duties entrusted to them:
Make the male lines like trees that have had their roots cut;
Make the female lines like brooks that have dried up in winter,
Make the children and grandchildren like eggs smashed against cliffs,
Make the servants and followers like heaps of grass consumed by fire,
Make their dominion like a lamp whose oil has been exhausted,
In short, annihilate any traces of them, even their names.
no pity should be wasted on a man who had to be executed for his crimes
Though we might take revenge, I ... the cleric occupying the seat of the omniscient ones, would not appear as a disobedient monk.
All together, the Tibetan government launched seven separate assaults on the Bhutanese between 1616 and 1679.

It's kind of hard to know the real truth there, since both sides are politically motivated, I suspect that there's lots of propaganda coming from both sides.
I am willing to say that the quotes are an accurate representation of Losang Gyatsho's attitude.
This is madness! how can a group retaining to compassion be this violent!

To me its not even who is right or who is wrong, both sides are fighting. Buddhism is no better than scientology?
Did´nt buddhism come out of tibet?
Oh my goodness......
Perhaps you should do a lot more research before you pose any more questions.
Try this site.
mahayana emerged as a recognised term for a different tradition, between 1BC and 1AD.
So Mahayana is not as old as Theravada.
see this link also.
I hope this will clarify matters for you more.
Tibet - and the Dalai Lama - are merely sections of Buddhism.
