Step-by-step lessons in building the skills needed to engage in Tibetan Buddhist philosophical debate and that have proved successful in the college classroom. Debate is the investigative technique used in Tibetan education to sharpen analytical capacities and convey philosophical concepts. Reading and memorization are not enough; students must be able to verbalize their understanding and defend it under the pressure of fierce cross-examination. This book, based on the author's successful undergraduate course in the subject, trains readers to develop the analytical skills used in Tibetan-style debate. Making use of sample debate exchanges and definitions and classification systems drawn from Tibetan Buddhist debate manuals, the book shows how to challenge and defend assertions made in the course of debate.

My 9 year-old loves it.. It isn't the innocent and brotherly secret society that I thought it was but far from it. I really appreciated this book and think it has a lot of great information for healing. It seems the author put a lot of effort and time to bring theoretical and empirical parts together. It is written in a summarized format for each decade of Lions football that highlights the players and moments in the history of the Detroit Lions Football Program. Neil's Mahu series of books are great-- well-written, plotted to keep you turning the pages, and full of the complexity of human nature. The cow is a harmless enough detail, but the result
