A formal debate practice from Tibetan Buddhist monastic education in which
|
|
a challenger poses questions and a defender answers, using prescribed
|
|
gestures and logical forms. Originating in the Indian Buddhist pramana
|
|
tradition and developed in Tibetan Gelug monasteries such as Sera and
|
|
Drepung.

steps:
|
|
- headline: Set the roles
|
|
description: >-
|
|
One person takes the role of challenger (asking) and the other the
|
|
defender (answering). The challenger stands; the defender sits.
|
|
- headline: Pose the thesis
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The challenger poses a thesis or question drawn from the text under
|
|
study, framing it in the prescribed logical form.
|
|
- headline: Defender answers
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The defender gives a one-word or short answer that commits to a
|
|
position, which the challenger will now test.
|
|
- headline: Challenger tests with consequences
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The challenger follows with a sequence of logical consequences
|
|
(thal-ching), using claps and gestures to mark each step, seeking to
|
|
draw the defender into contradiction.
|
|
- headline: Concede or restate
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The defender concedes if cornered, or restates the position more
|
|
precisely. The debate ends when the thesis is either confirmed or
|
|
shown incoherent.
|
|
outcome: >-
|
|
The defender's understanding of the thesis is tested and sharpened
|
|
through public logical pressure; the audience follows the reasoning.
|
|
practice: >-
|
|
The gestures and claps are not theatre — they mark logical steps and
|
|
keep the debate's pace. Honour the form; it enables rigour. |
