  • Sera Monastery is one of the most important Gelukpa university monasteries of Tibet.  Sera housed more than 5,000 monks in 1959 though few remain today. Although badly damaged following the invasion of Tibet and the Cultural Revolution, it is still standing and has been largely repaired.

  • Debating Monks at Sera Monastery - One of the striking features of Tibetan monk debates is that they are quite physical. They are marked by emphatic gestures such as the loud clapping of hands used by the questioner to punctuate each question.  These gestures have great symbolic value though debaters are rarely aware of such symbolic meanings, at the time. For them, the clapping and gestures  bring them a clarity that can help mobilize the intellectual capacities of the debaters and capture the attention of the audience.
