Just as there is disagreement about the origin of the phrase, there are differing explanations of the meaning of "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil."
  • In Buddhist tradition, the tenets of the proverb are about not dwelling on evil thoughts.
  • In the Western world both the proverb and the image are often used to refer to a lack of moral responsibility on the part of people who refuse to acknowledge impropriety, looking the other way or feigning ignorance.
  • It may also signify a code of silence in gangs, or organized crime.
