THE MONKEYS ARE NOT FREEMASONS .

 

Currently, in some pagodas featured three monkeys in the temple yard. But not everyone knows about the origins as well as understand the full meaning of that ancient people deeply want passed back to the next generation through the seemingly senseless like statues that. At first glance when this statue was probably none of us thought was its sense.
That is: "do not say, not seen, not heard." Many people believe that the statue he wanted to teach us to stay and live his life, do not cares of others or what is happening around them. But if understood as so inaccuracies and incomplete.
In fact, the origin of this statue originated in India several thousand years ago. At first, there is the statue of a God, the God of Vajrakilaya. This is gods had six arms, each pair of hand to block the two eyes, two ears and mouth. According to which the statue was carved in order to teach the commandments to each person: do not say nonsense, nonsense, nonsense not listening and not looking.
The thought of "three no" which according to the Buddhist monks traveling through China unknown in any period. Then in about the 9th century (having written the year 838), a Japanese Zen monk in Buddha made the trip in China has brought about Japan this ideology.
In Japan, the Nikko (Tokyo approximately 140 km to the North) in Toshogu currently host a classical sculpture (a total of eight different) there are three monkeys Mizaru, Kikazaru , named and Iwazaru: sealing ear, blindfolded and silenced Hidari Jingoro artist's wood is very famous from the SEVENTEENTH century.
Because the word "天zaru" near to "saru" meaning monkey, so he carved the figure of three monkeys silenced, blindfolded, ear protection with looks spiffy to surface expression of this philosophy. The statue also carries the bold ideas of Confucius in the Analects Germany. When asked about the German and Mandarin Gaming what needs to be done, Confucius replied: "Africa wrestling contest, non-holiday gift sacrifice, hearing the language, the sacrifice". That is not looking at the wrong thing, not to hear nonsense, not to say left, don't do sexual harassment ".
The Japanese also had a much more profound idea when they want: "blindfolded to the mind that look, ear tube to use mind which heard, silenced for the mind that says". When the mind is in a State, not to be disturbed by the bad things, the new things arise from the mind.
"The three kingdoms" is also not monkey reminds us of the importance of "mind" in this code allowed Italian students meditation. We need to know to control the mind, like the monkey run whirring. "The mind is the mind APE, who is disarray as Gibbon monkey. Apes often dancing, khọt khet, sit stand, usually exhausting lines from this to other twigs, shoots back, or imitate the life sentence "makes them unable monkey".
Also, do not mind when would be the yen, chaotic, messy, think, think most of this to the other stories, from the past to the present, the future, that is the center of the Park. This Center will take people to the disorder, arising out enough troubles, UE ... So the mind they suffer ignorance obscures much of the evil direction should more friendly. "
In today's society the statue three monkeys more meaning than ever. By each person are DIY suffering yourself. Suffering because of what mankind, because talking the world and suffering because of errors of others.
Human nature which is curiosity should whichever story would, on anyone though not related then also try to hear a story recounted to others. In the past, I am also a person or to Italy's fault. I always try to find out the weaknesses of other people to wait on occasion have to say back them to win for themselves. But then I see the hate and to others the truth takes time and buffet make myself become ugly. Bad here is in the mind, not to think of good things for people that only see the bad in people, nowhere around.
So, if know body remodeling Center, look at other people's errors as reminder to us not committing the same mistake. Always have to remind ourselves, everyone around me is we're only a bodhisattva chums wife should remain very many errors need to be corrected.
Also, the ears hear the negativity also don't keep in the heart. Should think that we're taught at the Buddha's word "ring", not anger before the words of others, always keep her mind quiet ahead:
"Rings a little wave Yen wind silence
Back a step sea sky high "
Every step, every step so we will gradually perfect the being of his people. Not thanks to the supernatural would cause myself to change the perception that deep in the mind will help him projectors are consistent every issue in a way the most integrity.
"The monkeys are not Freemasons" idea as simple that bring the teachings extremely insightful. At any time, when walking in the compound of the temple, see picture monkeys know just like a spiffy image as a gentle reminder that intensive Thuy of quadratic friendly knowledge want to communicate back to the generations of tomorrow.END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.27/1/2016.MHDT.
