The temple consists of three floors. Each floor is a large meditation hall. More than 8000 people can meditate together at the same time inside the temple. The halls at the ground and middle level are each a surface area of 6700 m2. The hall at the top floor has a surface area of 2500 m2. The height of the temple is 32.85 m.
