Ritu Sarin and Tenzing Sonam’s experimental documentary focuses on the ancient processes and rituals of Tibetan Buddhist debate, an investigative technique based on set rules of syllogisms intended to sharpen a practitioner’s reasoning and analytical capacities to gain insight into Buddhist philosophy.
