Faru (Chinese: 法如; pinyin: Fǎrù; Wade–Giles: Fa-ju; Japanese: Hōnyō) 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.
