So, you pushed the "ENTER" button on the Sertar Larung temple bio. Well, this is what happens.

You get immediatelly transported to either the website, or the virtual reality representation of it, depending on which way you are looking at the feed.
If you get directed to the site, it's just a normal looking page, with a vanilla-colored background and two bars on the sides of the screen, the latter are decorated by golden mofives of foliage and two chinese dragons at the top.
Written in the middle in a cursive typography is a description of the temple, and what it offers:

"Welcome to the Sertar Larung temple official site. Here you will find all the information you need to know about the temple, it's teachings and how to contact us.
We offer simple and affordable classes about self control, inner peace, and many more body cleansing experiences. You can also apply to become a monk, and if you are accepted, you will find a new, peaceful life here, with new friends and many activities to do.

In the next page, photographs of the temple can be found along with a description of the place, and it's surroundings:

Temple entrance: the beggining of the Sertar Larung begins high, after more than one and a half thousand steps, or a quick electrical cabin (for emergency situations).
Here you can place donations, and enter the installations (both to public view, and to long-living residents). The whole temple is placed between a massive mountain ridge, and while in it you will never get below 2000 meters above sea level, with the highest point at more than 5.000 meters, reserved for meditation and ceremonies only. It is not unusual for snow to accumulate in a layer more than one meter deep, specially in winter.


Beyond the entrance, there is an open training area, formed by a two-level plaza. The low level is all flat concrete with inscriptions, made specially for our members to train (see: photo above of a group of monks entering the lower level) of approximately one kilometer squared.
The top level is a balcony about five meters above the low level, that surrounds the entire plaza. Visitors can come and see the monks practice. This is the only public area open every day for tourists, from opening to close.
Guided visits to other areas of the temple happen every Sunday. More information in the page labeled "Visits" (It doesent exist, don't bother looking for it).

These are some of the areas that can only be seen through a guided visit. Our members have complete access to these, and have their own living quarters (bottom picture). We serve three meals a day on our dining room (middle picture), and in their spare time they can go and visit surrounding areas, that offer equally powerful views (example: top picture).

Finally, a contact page, where they facilitate their contact information. Nothing surprising there.

However, what might be surprising, is what happens if you enter the site while using the virtual reality version of the feed:
You get instantly teleported to the entrance of the temple. Of course, it's a digital reconstruction. There is nobody there but you, and instead of the temple being open, it's doors a re closed. However, there is somebody standing in front of the doors, awaiting for whoever had entered. It's a monk, the founder of the temple, who died a long time ago, but it is now immortalized in this digital form. To his side, a table with pamphlets (the pampers are basically a paper version of the website, with the same information and pictures).

The monk will not look at you. It's just an A.I that will answer any question you have regarding the temple.
If you decide to exit, you can always begin stepping down the stairs, and you will be automatically taken back to your precious placement in the feed.

So yeah! The temple has its little own website to it. It has its own little pocket in the feed.
