In the summer of 1975, Bill Brevoort, owner of Buddha Root Farm on the Smith River near Reedsport, Oregon, decided to host an outdoor Buddha Recitation Session on his land. He requested the Venerable Master Hua and the fourfold assembly of Gold Mountain Monastery to join in the session. The Venerable Master assented and in August 1975, a group of over fifty cultivators from all over the United States gathered at the farm to attend a week-long session of reciting the Buddha's name.

This was the first time that a traditional Buddha Recitation Session was held in the open air in the mountains. During the session, the Venerable Master gave talks twice daily: one in the afternoon and another in the evening. He brought the Pure Land Dharma method alive, explaining the fundamentals of practice and revealing the fruits of cultivation. He spoke so simply that even absolute beginners could comprehend the principles, and yet his words awakened more experienced cultivators to the profundities of the Buddhadharma. The Venerable Master's words provided inspiration and instruction for all assembled at Buddha Root Farm, and they serve as a wealth of Dharma for cultivators now and in the future.
