Does anyone know what a "dharma battle" would consist of?

  I can take a guess. After the Buddha was enlightened, he went back to his old friends the ascetics, and they didn't believe he was enlightened. But they talked and after a while they were convinced. Later, doubters would visit the Buddha and they'd have something like debates in front of the other monks. So I think Horn is saying he wants to show through debate that Massaro's views are bad, i.e., not the dhamma (truth).

  I mean... something like a battle over fulfilling your life's purpose, according to certain religious/philosophical points of view. Most religions have a concept of internal struggle, and most cults are just slight retellings of previous religions.

  It's kinda like a rap battle, just with more incense and meditation. /s
