The site is easily accessible on foot with wide paths suitable for walking at any time of year. There is no admission charge, and visitors can spend as much time as they wish exploring the peaceful surroundings.
The meditation center on the grounds offers teachings and retreats throughout the year, where visitors can participate in guided practice with instructors. This blend of monument and active spiritual community makes the site a living place of learning rather than simply a historical location.
