## Caption

Mizaru (見ざる) – covers the eyes: “#see no evil.”
Kikazaru (聞かざる) – covers the ears: “#hear no evil.”
Iwazaru (言わざる) – covers the mouth: “#speak no evil.”

The word “zaru” is a clever play on language: it’s both the negative verb form and a suffix meaning “monkey” (saru).

Ethical principle: Avoid perceiving, spreading, or participating in #evil.
Buddhist influence: Control of senses and speech to achieve harmony.
Western interpretation: Sometimes misunderstood as “turning a blind eye to problems,” but originally it’s about inner discipline.
