The Legend of the 3 Wisdom Monkeys
There are many versions of the story of the three wisdom monkeys in Asia. But the oldest is probably a Japanese fable from the seventeenth century. It features three monkeys, who embody the principles of wisdom and virtue in Buddhist philosophy.
The first monkey, named Mizaru, covers his eyes so as not to see evil. It represents prudence and vigilance, and invites us not to be tempted by the temptations and illusions of the world.
The second monkey, named Kikazaru, plugs his ears so as not to hear evil. It represents serenity and inner peace, and encourages us not to be swayed by malicious rumors and criticism.
The third monkey, named Iwazaru, plugs his mouth, to say the least. It represents kindness and compassion, and reminds us of the importance of speaking with gentleness and respect, and not hurting others with our words.
These three monkeys are often depicted together, in a symbolic posture that illustrates their commitment to living in harmony with the principles of wisdom and virtue. They have become a universal symbol of Buddhist philosophy, and their image is often used to decorate temples and sacred places.
The legend of the three monkeys of wisdom teaches us that true wisdom consists in living in harmony with oneself and with others, cultivating prudence, serenity and benevolence. It invites us to reflect on our actions, words, and thoughts, and to embark on the path of virtue and wisdom.
