When you come to Lhasa, you must not miss the debates in Drepung Monastery. The scene of sutra debate here is quite grand, with dozens of monks debating fiercely in the sutra debate hall at the same time.

In the process of debating the scriptures, those who ask questions can scream loudly, applaud or clap hands to cheer, dance rosary beads, pull up their robes, pace back and forth, or use their hands to pat each other's body and do various actions to ridicule each other. The answering party is relatively passive and can only answer questions. Therefore, the process of debating the scriptures was very exciting, even for audiences who do not understand Tibetan, the whole process of debating the scriptures was not boring. Just looking at the various expressions of the debaters, the aggressive voice and various "hands-on" gestures of the debate is already eye-opening.
