Fenggan (, Japanese Bukan, fl. 9th century) was a Chinese Chan monk-poet lived in the Tang dynasty, associated with Hanshan and Shide in the famed "Tiantai Trio" (天台三聖).
==Biography== Legendarily, Feng appeared one day at Guoqing Temple (located by the East China Sea, in the Tiantai mountain range), a monk with an unshaven head, riding a tiger. From then on, he took up residence in the temple behind the library, where he would hull rice and chant sutras.
