The place can be seen in about 6 to 8 hours and worth visiting the place at least once. Very serene ambiance and excellent. A museum depicts the historical life and non-sectarian teaching of Gotama the Buddha. The Global Vipassana Pagoda's educational displays communicate the Buddha's teaching of the universal practice of Vipassana as a path towards real happiness.
