About Five Mountain

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

The Community is focused on a lay Zen practice incorporating meditation, K?an 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 Robert Jibong Moore. Our practice locations are developing in Southern California, the California Bay Area, and Cincinnati, Ohio.
