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.

Sun Qiancheng was taken aback. He never knew that the offering of incense had so much to it. He could not help but give Fangzheng a big thumbs up. "I learned something new today!"

Sun Qiancheng did everything according to Fangzheng's instructions. He offered one incense stick after another and silently said the words.

Fangzheng stood by the side to help in reciting the sutras.

By the time the entire process was done, the sky had gradually darkened. Sun Qiancheng invited Fangzheng to join his family for dinner but Fangzheng declined. Although Fangzheng was starving, he wished to return home for his meal.

After bidding Sun Qiancheng farewell, he heard firecrackers set off in the village. Fangzheng returned to One Finger Monastery and cooked a pot of rice. An uneventful night passed.
