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.

But the moment he turned around, Fangzheng suddenly thought of something. He pricked up his brows and shouted. "Actually, Jingkuan, come over. See if you can understand what This Penniless Monk wrote."

Squirrel was taken aback. He had been in One Finger Monastery for so long. Ignoring everything else, he had already learned most of the Chinese characters. It wasn't only him, Monkey, and Salted Fish, they were also able to read and write without any hindrance. It was just that their handwriting was ugly…
