The annual dharma debating exam for the 2025 Geshe Lharampa degree in Tibetan Buddhism took place on April 15 at the Jokhang Temple in Lhasa, southwest China's Xizang autonomous region. On that day, monks participated in a formal debate and rankings were determined after rigorous assessment. To date, 202 monks have been accredited with the Geshe Lharampa — the highest academic degree in Tibetan Buddhism.
