Third Deliberative discussion on PRAMA-NA VARTI-KA KARI-KA and TANTRAP
This week from novenber 08th to 11 Novenber, we have one of the most important academic curriculum of the year– the famed (Zin Thangpo Thokchoe) or Deliberative discussion of Class one. This annual interactive discussion, attended by great scholars especially distinguished Geshes and undergraduates of the Monastery, is a great opportunity for young aspirants to broaden their knowledge horizon and especially in gaining deeper insights into finer points of Buddhist philosophy and practice. It is of 2 sessions Morning( 8 AM to 11AM) and Afternoon (2 to 5 PM). It usually begins with junior monks putting their doubts over certain important points to the open, followed by answers and series of counter arguments among the attendants–often, one session seems too short for one question. So, this is in short a great platform where the monks share knowledge and help each other delve deeper into Buddhist philosophy and practices–with references from standard texts backed by infallible reasons/logics.
