On April 3, 2001, The Ukiah Daily Journal reported on the 9th Annual Cherishing Our Youth Day, on which "members from the Dharma Realm Buddhist Association opened their hearts and the doors of the main dining room inside the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas...to welcome more than 800 children and teachers from schools throughout Mendocino County."
