Faru (Chinese: 法如; pinyin: Fǎrù; Wade–Giles: Fa-ju; Japanese: Hōnyo) was a prominent Buddhist monk during the Tang Dynasty in China. He was originally a student of Huimíng, but this teacher reportedly sent Faru to East Mountain to study under Daman Hongren. Under Hongren, with whom he studied for sixteen years, Faru is traditionally thought to have received dharma transmission. After his time on East Mountain, Faru left to Luoyang, spending some time at Shaolin Monastery and helping to re-establish its prominence.

  • Faru (Chinese: 法如; pinyin: Fǎrù; Wade–Giles: Fa-ju; Japanese: Hōnyo) was a prominent Buddhist monk during the Tang Dynasty in China. He was originally a student of Huimíng, but this teacher reportedly sent Faru to East Mountain to study under Daman Hongren. Under Hongren, with whom he studied for sixteen years, Faru is traditionally thought to have received dharma transmission. After his time on East Mountain, Faru left to Luoyang, spending some time at Shaolin Monastery and helping to re-establish its prominence. Faru is notable in the history of Zen because the concept of a lineage, a fundamental notion in the identity of the school, seems to have originated with either him or his immediate followers. His epitaph speaks of an unbroken line of mind to mind transmission from Gautama Buddha to Bodhidharma, the founder of Zen, to Faru's teacher Hongren, and on to Faru himself. Other students of Hongren, however, claimed that they were the next point on the lineage and not Faru, however. These included , but most importantly Yuquan Shenxiu, who had a competing epitaph claiming he was the next patriarch of the lineage after Hongren. In modern Zen institutions, however, neither Shenxiu or Faru is traditionally considered the true heir of Hongren; that distinction lies with Huineng, a monk far less notable than Faru or Shenxiu who rose to prominence only after his death thanks to an extensive campaign by his student Heze Shenhui.

  • Fǎrù (法如, Wade-Giles: Fa-ju. In giapponese: Hōnyo; , 638 – 689) è stato un monaco buddhista cinese VI patriarca della scuola Chán secondo una tradizione della scuola del Nord (Beizōng 北宗禪). Nel (傳法寶紀 Annali della trasmissione del tesoro del Dharma, T.D. 2838.85.1291), opera dell'VIII secolo rinvenuta nelle Grotte di Mogao viene riportata la biografia di questo importante monaco cinese, Fǎrù, VI patriarca del Buddhismo Chán, erede del Dharma del V patriarca Hóngrěn (弘忍, 601 - 674) e predecessore del VII patriarca (神秀, 606?-706). Nato a (oggi nello Shanxi) nel 638, divenne monaco all'età di diciannove anni. Dopo diversi soggiorni in differenti templi decise di fermarsi presso il monastero di Dòngshān (東山, Picco o Monte orientale), dove insegnava il patriarca Chán, Hóngrěn. Divenne presto famoso per la sua saggezza e le cronache narrano che durante un viaggio fluviale rischiò l'annegamento ma quando venne salvato mostrò di non essere per niente turbato dall'accaduto. Nel 683, in occasione delle commemorazioni per il defunto imperatore (高宗, conosciuto anche come Lǐzhì, 李治, regno: 649-83), la comunità buddhista lo voleva insignire di una onorificenza ma Fǎrù si ritirò nel tempio di Shàolín (少林寺), collocato sul versante settentrionale del monte Sōngshān (嵩山) dove visse nell'anonimato per diversi anni. Scoperta e diffusa la sua vera identità, centinaia monaci raggiunsero il tempio di Shàolín per poter apprendere i suoi insegnamenti. Giunto sul punto di morte raccomandò ai suoi allievi di studiare sotto la guida di Shénxiù, allievo come lui del V patriarca Hóngrěn. Nella successiva tradizione della scuola Chán del Nord (Beizōng 北宗禪), Shénxiù risulterà tuttavia essere il diretto successore di Hóngrěn e quindi VI patriarca. Le cronache narrano anche che Fǎrù morì nella classica posizione dello (坐禅). Di Fǎrù non conserviamo alcuna opera. (it)
