EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from Tibetan mythology, a monkey extends a hand in kindness to a tortoise, who clings to his outstretched arm. The monkey's expression is one of genuine concern and compassion, as he offers the tortoise his assistance. However, the story behind this moment is one of deceit and betrayal. According to ancient Tibetan folklore, the monkey and the tortoise were once close friends. The monkey had saved the tortoise from drowning in a river, and the two became inseparable companions. But when the tortoise's wife fell ill, the monkey offered to seek out the cure, promising to bring back the elixir of life itself. The monkey journeyed far and wide, encountering many challenges and hardships on his quest. He finally arrived at the palace of the divine healers, where he was greeted with open arms. The healers were so impressed by the monkey's bravery and determination that they granted him the elixir, but with a warning. The elixir could only be obtained at the cost of the giver's heart. Upon returning to the tortoise, the monkey presented him with the elixir, but demanded that the tortoise sacrifice his own heart in return. The tortoise, who had been ungrateful for the monkey's kindness and had grown envious of his friend's adventures, saw an opportunity to gain the elixir for himself. He agreed to the monkey's demand, and the monkey's heart was taken, leaving him to die. This historical image captures a poignant moment in the tale of the tortoise and the monkey, a story that has been passed down through generations in Tibetan culture. The image serves as a reminder of the importance of gratitude and the consequences of betrayal. Despite the monkey's kindness and selflessness, he was ultimately betrayed by his ungrateful friend, a lesson that continues to resonate with audiences today.
