The Five Mountain Sangha is an American Zen Organization in the Korean Sŏn lineage of Zen Master Sŭngsan (Seung Sahn).

 

The Community is focused on a lay Zen practice incorporating meditation, Kōan practice and expressing the Dharma within the circumstances of everyday life.  Our approach is practice-centered, integrative and experiential.

 

The Sangha's Guiding Teacher is Paul Lynch, JDPSN, who is a Dharma Successor of Zen Master Jibong in the Golden Wind Zen Order. Our practice locations are developing in Southern California, the California Bay Area, and Cincinnati, Ohio.
