The legend of three monkeys of wisdom.

It is difficult to estimate the exact origin of these three wise monkeys. The first trace of their existence is linked to a very famous Chinese thinker of the fifth century, the one Confucius. Another legend would assume that these three monkeys are descended from the Japanese Koshin belief. It is known, that the use of the three little monkeys in decoration is the idea of a Japanese sculptor, Hidari Jingoro, who adorned the temples of Nikko in Japan in the sixteenth century. The three monkeys are called the "Sanzaru". In Japanese, "san" means three and "saru" monkey. The saying in Japanese is mizaru, kikazaru, iwazaru "see not, hear not, speak not", where the "-zaru" is a negative conjugation on the three verbs. The Buddhist approach includes the idea of evil: "not seeing evil, not hearing evil and not saying bad things." Because every time we witness something bad or hear something bad, our body can absorb it like a sponge. As a strong symbol, the three monkeys of wisdom contain a perfect symbolism to infuse positive energy into your interior. It is also said that famous Indian philosopher Mahatma Gandhi, known for his daily life devoid of superficiality, made a single materialist exception by keeping near him a small statue of these three monkeys.
