Personal Visit and Daily Dana 个人探访或供养
For personal visit and daily dana, you may drive up all the way up to AVMC. Please park your car at the lower gate which is not so steep and is safer to all. This small parking area can only accomodate 3-4 cars.
如果您想探访或供养（不是禅修营或活动期间），您可直接开车到达禅林大门。 请把车停在不太陡峭且较安全的第一个大门门口旁。 这个小型停车场只能容纳3-4辆汽车。
