This place is free to go to and you don't have to be Buddhist. It's a beautiful place and you can meditate or take in the views and two days a week the offer free like a meditation (how to meditate basically) sessions and then kind of a 30 min Buddhist 101 class. It's not religious, but more spiritual. The views are spectacular & there are garden areas to wander & a giant Budda, but be mindful there monks living there. People are extremely friendly. Also there is a super cool 100 year old live giant tortoise there & lots of little turtle statues & someone said that turtles in life are a reminder to slow down in life, to stop and look around, and just be present. I liked that.

I have not personally visited the monastery yet, but it is literally right up the road - about a mile, I think. I hear the garden is beautiful to walk through. Before Covid restrictions, you could arrange to have breakfast and prayer time with the monks, but I've heard they will not be doing that until it is safe to gather in large groups again.
