The site is open from 9am to 6pm weekdays. If you wish to visit and enter the temple itself this is only possible at weekends and between 1pm and 6pm only.
Remember to remove your shoes, and don't point your feet or extend your legs in the direction of the buddha while sitting.
Do have a closer look at the paintings covering the walls inside and you will be intrigued by what you can find, including the Mona Lisa torn in half, a space shuttle, Margaret Thatcher, Charlie Chaplin and a typical Christian Hell scene.
