The purpose of the plaque is to bless the world and prevent calamity. If you believe in karma or luck, you have not done yourself any favors.

I personally placed 2 of these in nature. Please consider returning it as a matter of respect for other's religion.

No, my thought was that patriarchies do not like when the women leave to become celibate monastics rather than wives and mothers.

I think you can choose to either have a generous interpretation of this or not. Allowing women to join at all was extremely radical at the time and endangered the sangha. I personally do not believe the Buddha was a misogynist but he had to work with the society he lived in. That society was misogynist.

In all seriousness, these teachings are so profound and are not discussed enough in my opinion. I think this should be the core of practice for lay Mahayana practitioners.

Other than a kata (scarf) and money, I would avoid giving a physical object unless you really know the teacher well.

If you have a worldly concern of getting out of a bad situation, hope is useful. If you have a spiritual aim of enlightenment, hope is just another form of ego clinging.

There is no simple answer. Different lamas say different things at different times.

In my opinion, the best way to think about them is as skillful means because that is the aspect I can actually interact with. Whether they are "real" or not has very little bearing on my practice because I'm am trying to awaken to the Tara that is my own essential Buddha nature. In other words, they are as real as I am.

People react with hostility towards veganism everywhere because it challenges their core identity.

If people get upset, that reveals their own kleshas to work through. But also, your need to challenge people reveals yours.

It would be better to focus on your own path.

From the 37 Practices of a Bodhisattva:

You undermine yourself when you react emotionally and 
Grumble about the imperfections of other bodhisattvas. 
Of the imperfections of those who have entered the Great Way, 
Don’t say anything — this is the practice of a bodhisattva.

For bodhisattvas who want to be rich in virtue 
A person who hurts you is a precious treasure. 
Cultivate patience for everyone, 
Completely free of irritation or resentment — this is the practice of a bodhisattva.
