Sutra debate is an important method for Tibetan Buddhist monks to engage with and deepen their understanding of Buddhist teachings. Through a structured format that includes question-and-answer, argumentation, and challenge, monks delve into the profound meanings inherent in Buddhist doctrine.

On November 13, at Tashilhunpo Monastery in Xigaze City, the Xizang Autonomous Region, monks convened in the debating courtyard and engaged in fervent sutra debate.
