INTER-CLASS DEBATE COMPETITION

The profound purpose of Buddhist debate and reasoning is to clear away a wrong conception of our natures and thereby to become free of suffering and even death.
Daily practice in the monastic debate is important in traditional Tibetan Buddhist learning. Through debate, nuns and monks test and consolidate their classroom learning and gain a thorough understanding of Buddhist teachings. Each hand and body motion is rooted in wisdom and compassion, which must be united to attain enlightenment.
So to promote nuns’ education and increase the intelligence of our nuns, we conduct inter-class debate competitions every year. In this, one class has to prepare two debate topics; one from the current class syllabus and another from their respective previous year’s class.

Hence, in the presence of our new Abbot and Respected Teachers, we gathered in our new debate hall for the Inter- class debate competition which last for four days. In this debate competition, all classes took part in their best performance. Prizes were distributed to the rank holder classes & encouragement speeches were given too.
