Flags hung from the trees, peaceful walking paths surrounded the grounds, and we were welcomed with open arms. A bookstore is available for you to purchase any and all information related to Tibetan Buddhism. The shrine was beautiful and breathtaking. A retreat was taking place, but we were given permission to visit the shrine as they were on break. We were so appreciative and grateful for that opportunity. We were immensely interested in learning what takes place at the shrine, as well as more about Buddhism in general. A very serene and fascinating experience!

This is a beautiful Tibetan Buddhist monastery offering a peaceful retreat from daily life. The monastery is not huge as compared to others I have visited in the past, but the architecture and colorful interior designs make it a perfect place to find inner peace, meditation and self reflection. I can't comment on the teachings or programs they offer since I'm not a practitioner, but there is a book store where visitors can purchase books to educate in the monastery teachings and beliefs. They also sell T-shirts, hoodies and sculptures. I passed a kitchen with a huge dining area but these are reserved for people who are participating in spiritual retreats and other programs offered here. The resident monks walking around are quiet, and in their own silence give off a profound welcoming if that makes any sense. Remember, you don't need to be a believer or practitioner to enjoy the monastery. After leaving here you will feel a sense of calm and as silly as it may sound a sense of enlightening and empowerment. Definitely worth the visit when you're in the Woodstock area.
