Yimeng Huangliang

In the rural northeastern mountainous regions stands a tiny Buddhist temple, named One Finger Temple. It isn't a large one but it is extremely miraculous.

The temple has rice that emanates an aromatic fragrance.

The temple has sweet and refreshing water that rivals ambrosia.

The temple has Buddhas that grant wishes to the sincere.

The temple isn't large but it has everything. The temple isn't large but it has flourishing incense offerings that far exceed all temples. The temple isn't large but it attracts both citizens and foreigners that line up overnight…

The temple has a bald but handsome monk. Every day, he would bawl, "I want to renounce asceticism! I want to marry a chick that's not too pretty, have a cute baby, and lead a stable life!"

This book is a casual novel that introduces various Chinese traditional customs, as well as Buddhist ones. It strives to be a positive book, allowing people to reflect on how they should live their lives and treat others.

The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism

"Here comes the problem. We are supposed to avoid aversion and anger, but isn't there the Glaring Vajra? And even Buddha has the Wisdom King form. So it's impossible for an ordinary person like me to be completely void of anger, right?"

"Ding! You can be angry but as a master, you should simultaneously have a benevolent heart. Just because a person doesn't trust you and makes some nasty remarks, is there a need to turn ballistic and argue back, fight, or even kill? Resembling Buddha when void of anger, resembling Buddha when in anger! When Buddhism talks about being void of anger, it does not mean to tolerate everything. Where the boundary lies is determined based on your own experiences."

Fangzheng was surprised as he said with a wry smile, "I think I understand. One should be angry when one is supposed to be angry, while one shouldn't be angry when one shouldn't. Is that right?"
