Day 7 - Lhasa - the Great Monk Debate Chant

Suddenly, the debating stopped. It didn't gradually wind down. There was no noticeable signal that it was finished. It just abruptly came to an end. All the monks gathered their things, formed a semi-circle at one end of the courtyard and started to chant. It was magical! Transfixed is not a word I usual use or a state that I would say I'm often in but I was transfixed. I could have sat their and listened forever. Like I said, it was magical....
