A very warm welcome by Dereck, who very sweetly offered to show us around. A pleasant surprise awaited as we explored floor after floor of this 5 story building. 
While on the first floor just behind the massive red doors are these impressive Buddha statues
Derick took us straight to the fifth floor. Buddha with thousand hands, a wishing fountain behind a bell, with flowing water all round. This terrace is often used as the meditation place, when weather permits. There is a pillar with chants written, used by the 'master' to circle around, when he visits.
The 4th floor is where the gods of wealth and wishes rest. The entrance to this floor has 8 Buddha statues in a wall. There is a wall inside with 88 Buddhas, these are adopted by members families, for their ancestors. The beauty of this wall when lit, is truly amazing. To our utter disbelief we saw our very dear 'Ganpati' Ji amongst the wealth gods worshipped by the Lhamas.
The roof told a beautiful story of its own. There are 8 fairies hanging from the roof, making it completely surreal, seems the heavens have opened their gateway.
The 3rd floor is used for class room training for young students. They are taught various skills, from chanting to incense making. The roofs in the class rooms have been specially hand painted.
What totally floored the mother daughter duo, is yet to come! The 2nd floor of the building houses a library and a tea corner. They have specially custom made teas to order from. What I loved here were the tea rooms. One can hire these rooms and get a flow of tea. The rooms can house 4 to 8 people.
I strongly recommend this as a must visit on your day off, next time. Vesak day one can go and light a candle in the temple.
