The monks give free tours of the grounds on their golf cart. They also sell post-cards, books, and other Buddha inspired gifts in the main building. Each tour gets a gift book about prayer and meditation. They also have daily prayers open to the public at 6am and 6pm. Wear socks if going on the tour, no shoes allowed in the main temple building.
