There are "pujas" -- religious chanting ceremonies -- at various times during the day. The monks are very welcoming and gracious. This is a very large temple/monastery whose abbot is a major figure in the Kagyu lineage (although he is rarely in Canada; this is one of several of his centers). You can get here by public transportation, but there is NOTHING else around. I had to stay in an Airbnb while I was attending an event here. There are no restaurants or other attractions, but if you can't get to Nepal or Tibet, you can see this.
