the battle over HTML has ended. 1-0, soraya ya'all.
The three wise monkeys are a pictorial maxim. Together they embody the proverbial principle "to see no evil, speak no evil, and to hear no evil". The three monkeys are Mizaru , covering his eyes, who sees no evil; iwazaru, covering his mouth, who speaks no evil; and kikazaru, covering his ears, who hears no evil.
and from what has come to my knowledge, the idea behind the proverb was part of the teaching of god Vadjra, that if we do not hear, see or talk evil, we ourselves shall be spared all evil. This is similarly reflected in the proverb: talk of the devil- and the devil appears."
now it is surprising to note how often these words and phrases are used with absolutely no idea
that a fourth monkey exists, but is rarely depicted in pictures, phrases, carvings and such. To date, very few people have seen or heard of the fourth monkey who smells no evil. now, as i am one of those privelaged enough to own actual pictures of the fourth monkey(who is in fact, the actual leader of the other three monkeys), i thought it would be nice to share those pictures with the rest of you since, i have wondrously conquered HTML!
presenting,...... the fourth monkey!

if you look closely, dunguzaru wears a mockery of her three followers (maybe thats why they sent her to extinction and the land of 'never-heard'ness.

I love that picture!! I want! And I don't freaking know how to post pictures. I've a dungu-er brain than you do.
Did you know the real fourth monkey is Shizaru, who represents "Do no evil" by holding his hands over his groin? True story!
i do actually. i even wrote a post about it. i believe it was right after this one. or 2 posts after
I am lokking for the artist who made the design of the three monkeys with the yellow background. Do you know who that is?
Best,
Louise
