Annual 'Thuk Choera' held at new debate courtyard.

Due to Wuhan Covid-19 Pandemic and restrictions last year, Drepung Gomang monastery was unable to conduct the annual 'Thuk Choera' a special inter-class monastic debate. This year on 29th July, with the easing of some restrictions, this special and religious traditional event observed and held only at Drepung Gomang, was held with only limited monastic classes ( five classes of Parchen=Prajnaparamita classes) with monks students. Usually, whole senior classes participate in this ceremony which lasts for a week. This year. the annual 'Thuk Choera' was held at the new debate courtyard of the monastery under the strict supervision of His Eminence Khen Rinpoche, Discipline Head, text/scripture teachers, and monks from the classes.
