Great Regulars: Cold Mountain wrote his poems on the rocks,

tree, and temple walls of China's Tientai Mountains. He earned a place as an influential figure in the history of Chinese literature through his rigorous honesty and insight on the human condition.

Red Pine is one of the world's foremost translators of Chinese literary and religious texts. He began translating Chinese poetry while living in a monastery in Taiwan, and visited Cold Mountain’s remote caves in preparation for these translations.
