Cold Mountain Zen is a meditation sangha dedicated to the practice of Rinzai Zen in New Jersey. The Rinzai lineage dates back to 9th century China and continues under the direction of Kankan Roshi Kurt Spellmeyer through Cold Mountain Zen’s weekly group practice, monthly half-day sits, and several week-long retreats (sesshin) each year.
