The monastery has an established program of religious activities throughout the year. There are special rituals on all the holy days of the Buddha, the Sakyapa Teachers, and also on occasions when the local people request specific prayers and rituals for their benefit. On such days most of the usual routine is suspended as all of the monks take part in the prayer ceremonies.
The usual daily routine of the monks is:
1. 5.45 Wake-up Bell
2. 6.00 to 7.00 Morning Prayer (Tara Puja in the Prayer Hall with breakfast)
3. 7.30 to 9.00 Recitation and memorizing of the prayer/ritual texts
4. 9.00 to 10.00 Tibetan Language Class
5. 10.00 to 11.00 English Language Class
6. 11.30 to 13.00 Lunch Break
7. 13.00 to 14.00 Tibetan Language Class
8. 14.00 to 15.00 Revision of the day's lesson
9. 15.00 Tea Break
10. 15.00 to 17.00 Revision of recitation and memorization of the prayer/ritual texts
11. Break
12. 19.00 to 21.00 Evening Prayer and Recitations
13. 21.00 to 21.30 Self study
