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. Following three sets of debates on foundational Buddhist concepts of impermanence, lack of self-existence, and dependent-arising, the work invites viewers to participate in this unique dialectical practice while highlighting its relevance to the modern world.

Coffee was served with much splendor at the harems of the Ottoman palace and mansions. First, sweets (usually jam) was served on silverware, followed by coffee serving. The coffee jug would be placed in a sitil (brazier), which had three chains on its sides for carrying, had cinders in the middle, and was made of tombac, silver or brass. The sitil had a satin or silk cover embroidered with silver thread, tinsel, sequin or even pearls and diamonds.
