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.

As such, everyone witnessed the miracle of the morning bell and evening drum, but failed to see the monk. Instead of feeling satisfied, they felt even more regret. They claimed that they would come again until they could see Fangzheng.

There were even people who decided to settle here permanently…

The commotion lasted for a month. During this month, the northeastern new year happened. All kinds of festivities were in place. One Finger Village's ten-village connection surprised the foreigners once again. The visitors who came were all showing the unique Chinese new year customs on their Facebook accounts.

This was the first time China had dominated the social media of many foreigners.

However, the more famous One Finger Monastery became, the more curious everyone was. Where was the monk?

"Where did that monk go?" Many people outside One Finger Monastery asked.
