The Dalai Lama accepts failure of his approach to getting independence of Tibet for the last 50 years.
Since he is able to admit failure for a whole nation’s hopes, in time perhaps he would also state he was ‘wrong’ in the ban against Dorje Shugden. This is a good indication that Dalai Lama is able to retract his position.

In this video I see for the first time the private life of HHDL. I must admit that HHDL is charismatic and seeing him in his private space does give me a closer connection to him. Hearing him admit that he was wrong in his approach in handling the Tibet issue with China was indeed humbling as for a long time he was ridiculed for the Tibet issue. Personally, I have full respect for HHDL but the Ban just puts a damper on the whole picture. How can the emanation of Buddha of Compassion allow people to be ostracized and even be killed over a spiritual practice? It just does not make sense unless of course HHDL takes compassion to a different, skillful manner. Nonetheless, putting a Ban which has caused many to suffer is no different than how Chinese have imprisoned Tibetians. HHDL’s comments about the Chinese can also be said of himself and the CTA.

This is my 1st time to see HH Dalai Lama’s very simple daily private life. He failed to free Tibet from China although he had tried many different approaches during the last 50 years but I believe independence issue is also depend on the karma of the entire Tibetan community.
