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.","brand":"Snow Lion","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44214338617599,"sku":"9781559394215","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781559394215_s600x595.jpg?v=1775596382","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781559394215","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
