kelsang gyatso did a lot more. he gives vows to monks and nuns without the necessary authority. for those who don't know to give these vows you need five monks or nuns. most take the vows from one person, with a promise to take the full ordination at a future time, but they are in schools that have more than the required five so the authority is there. kelsang gyatso started on his own after being kicked out of his monastary and has never had another person in his group possessing the full vows, so all his ordinations are non buddhist. that's a serious transgression of the vinaya of any buddhist school. he has also published books on deep practices that are not allowed to be public without full oral teachings, again a violation of the school he came from. these are non buddhist activities.
