About monkeys

One monkey has the dharma and the other is dharmaless!

Body concerns! He is looking quite pleased and what do we think about pleasure?! Aha!

Last year, I was really into the Mayan calendar thing, I found it really interesting and so with some friends we started studying it and suddenly I decided to live my life according to some things these ancient guys said about the universe and mankind. Anyway the first thing I learned is that in the Mayan calendar I’m a blue monkey, and I like blue, I really do but at first I rejected the idea of being born in the “monkey day”, because well I wasn’t much into monkeys, I didn’t like that primitive foolish animal at all, less to be one. The drawing that you can see in my profile represents the final conciliation after several disagreements. I even carved my hanko after this mayan sign, but now I don't like it at all because I found out that in Zen the monkey represents the deluded human being attached to the material stuff!.

Thief! thief! Monkeys are known for their skills to steal things, food most of the times.

Three monkeys, ones deluded, the other awaking.
