The Ubosot or Ordination Hall is surrounded by two large, emerald green nagas (serpents) and the interior of the building's walls, doors and window panels depict the life of Buddha, including his 'Ten Lives' and his struggle with evil prior to his enlightenment. A smaller Wiharn is guarded by two Ramayana gardians and houses a beautiful black sapphire Buddha image.
