Hongren is said to have received Dharma transmission from Dayi Daoxin and passed on the symbolic bowl and robe of transmission to Huineng, the Sixth and last Chan Patriarch.

The following biography is based on Chan traditional sources. Childhood Hongren was born in Huangmei with the family name Chou.
