The monastery's architectural layout is Tibetan in style. Its symbols are the White Towers in the northeast and in the northwest. The grand sutra and Buddha halls are in the northwestern section, centered around the Grand Sutra Hall. Other halls are spread out in a shape similar to a crescent moon.
