This is a video of the Buddhist monks of Sera monastry in Lhasa, Tibet. They are called the "debating monks" because they seek enlightenment through debate. One monk plays the role of the "student" and the other plays the role of the "teacher". The teacher slaps his hands and asks the student a question about existance and the student has to reply. After a while the students and teachers switch positions.
