Visitors should wear modest clothing that covers shoulders and knees and remove shoes before entering sacred areas of the grounds. Arriving early in the morning offers a quieter experience and better opportunities to observe daily monastic routines.
The temple houses a collection of religious artifacts including ancient texts and ceremonial objects. The resident monks perform regular chanting ceremonies whose rhythmic recitations often strike visitors as unexpectedly moving.
