The Dharma Hall, used for ceremonies and formal instruction, will hold up to 80 people and contains a memorial altar in addition to the main altar.

The Zendo is traditional and has elevated sitting platforms for sixteen meditators; a tan can be added down the center of the room which provides six more places when necessary.

Informal classes are held in the Library, which also contains the monastery kitchen; this building is used as a dormitory during retreats. It has a koi pond and a bench out front.
