5 Sept - Sera Monastery

Together with Drepung Monastery, these were the main training centres for lamas in Lhasa. Sera is now famous for the debating training in the afternoons. Monks are asked philosophical questions and have to answer quickly, and accurately. It is also a tourist highlight, perhaps the monks are used to being filmed by now?
