The Dharma Realm Buddhist Association (DRBA),
formerly known as the Sino-American Buddhist Association, was founded
by the Venerable Master Hsuan Hua in 1959. It was established as
a state and federally approved non-profit religious and educational
corporation for the purpose of bringing the orthodox teachings of
the Buddha to the entire world.
In 1962, Master Hua accepted his disciples' invitation to come
to America. In 1966 he set up an in-residence Buddhist study and
practice center in San Francisco. In 1970 the center moved to larger
quarters and became one of Northern California's foremost Buddhist
centers, Gold Mountain Monastery.
Later the Association founded a number of other centers: The International
Institute for the Translation of Buddhist Texts (1973), The Sagely
City of Ten Thousand Buddhas in Talmage (1976), Gold Wheel Sagely
Monastery in Los Angeles (1976), Gold Buddha Sagely Monastery in
Vancouver (1984), Gold Summit Sagely Monastery in Seattle (1984),
Avatamsaka Sagely Monastery in Calgary (1986), and Proper Dharma
Buddhist Academy in Taiwan (1989). The Sagely City of Ten Thousand
Buddhas also houses Dharma Realm Buddhist University, Developing
Virtue Secondary School, and Instilling Goodness Elementary School.
