FinnAI Guide

Isang tahimik na monghe ang sumulat ng aklat na ito anim na raang taon na ang nakalipas para tulungan ang kanyang mga kapatid na mamuhay nang mabuti, at naging isa ito sa pinakamaraming nabasang aklat sa Earth. Nagbibigay ito ng maikli at payak na payo: maging mapagpakumbaba, maging matiyaga, asahan ang hirap, huwag habulin ang papuri, at sundin ang halimbawa ni Christ isang araw sa bawat pagkakataon. Walang pagyayabang dito. Para itong isang matalinong kaibigan na mahinang nagsasalita, at inilagay ito ng mga tao sa tabi ng kanilang kama sa loob ng maraming siglo.
