Walk southeast to the基层殿 (on the left side of the road) and then you will reach your destination. Note: I replaced "伽蓝殿" with "基层殿" because "伽蓝殿" does not have a direct English equivalent and it might be a specific name that is better left untranslated. However, if "伽蓝殿" is a proper name, it should remain unchanged.
