It also contains a well-equipped Buddhist library, administrative offices and a lounge. Three meals a day are offered to teachers and students in the basement dining hall.

Surrounding the main building on three sides are hostels that provide housing for up to 300 people with two types of rooms available for teachers, guest lecturers, foreign students and visitors. Small rooms have an attached private bathroom and the large rooms share common bathrooms. All rooms are equipped with two beds, basic bedding, a desk, chair, bookcase and wardrobe.
