The Fayan House or the Fayan School (法眼宗 Fayan) was one of the major sects of Zen (禪 or 'Chán') Buddhism.
The Fayan school was named after Chinese Zen Master Fayan Wenyi (885–958).
Over the course of Song Dynasty (960–1279), the Fayan House, along with the Guiyang and Yunmen houses were gradually absorbed into the Linji House.
