Before Xiao Xian arrived, Little Hai had told her about this nameless temple without even a plaque. Its operation and daily maintenance depended entirely on the head monk standing before her.
The monk had a tricky name that people in the village found difficult to recall, as his dharma name simply was Shanyin, so the villagers just called him Master Shan Yin.
Master Shan Yin was a bona fide graduate of Emei Mountain Buddhist College, holding qualifications far exceeding those of everyone in Ge Village and the surrounding areas combined.
Although he lived in the temple all year round, the monk rarely touched upon the content of Buddhist scriptures when teaching.
Every new student was entitled to receive a complementary textbook from Shanyin Monk, which was said to be the same as those used by the children in the town schools.
