Tibetan Debate at Sera Monastery

Buddhist monks debate one another by having a more knowledgeable (but not necessarily older) monk question the other monk on a wide array of subjects. He signals the engagement by jumping up and clapping on the way down. An unacceptable response gets another clap with the backside of the hand. One on one debates carry on for hours.

“Sera Monastery lies on the outskirts of Lhasa. The monks at Sera are renowned for their debating skills, and every afternoon you can catch them in the courtyard stamping their feet and clapping their hands as they challenge fellow monks in philosophical debates. The monks test each other on knowledge of Buddhist texts and ask each other questions like, “Are you a person?” The respondent’s answers must stand up to the rigors of logic.”
