Bodhin Kjolhede (born 1948) is an American Sà Âtà Â/Rinzai Zen roshi and Abbot of the Rochester Zen Center (RZC), a position he assumed when Philip Kapleau retired from teaching in 1986. He founded the âÂÂCloud-Water SanghaâÂÂ, an international community of Zen centers led by teachers in his lineage.
Kjolhede was ordained as a priest in 1976. In 1986 he was formally installed as Kapleau's Dharma-successor and Abbot of the Rochester Zen Center. He has additionally been offered transmission in a Sà Âtà  lineage, but has thus far chosen to decline.
Kjolhede has authorized ten of his disciples as teachers, some of whom are independent teachers with their own dharma successors:
The Cloud-Water Sangha is formed of centers led by Kjolhede's students and their disciples:
The name of the sangha is a translation of the Japanese term unsui.
