Each day from 15:00-17:00 the monks at the Sera monastery in Lhasa debate. It is a kind of examination to debate what they learned in their lessons early in the morning.
The monks debating at the Sera Monastery in Lhasa, Tibet would clap their hands three different ways, 1- when they ask a question, 2- if the answer is correct, 3- if the answer is incorrect. This is an example of the question asking clap.
