Kobong seonsanim (; 1890–1962), the 77th Patriarch in his teaching lineage, was a Korean Zen master.

==Biography== At an early age, Kobong became a monk at Namjangsa. Known for spontaneous and eccentric teaching, he sometimes said that he preferred to teach laypeople because monks were too lazy to practice hard.
