This version relates the Jataka tale to the old Chinese legend of a rabbit who inhabits the moon. There are numerous versions of the poem with slight textual variations; I follow the text given in Yoshino Hideo\u2019s collection, pp. 319-22<br \/>\n<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"fcbkbttn_buttons_block\" id=\"fcbkbttn_left\"><div class=\"fcbkbttn_like \"><fb:like href=\"http:\/\/escrituras-eremitas.com\/english\/2010\/05\/18\/the-rabbit-in-the-moon\/\" action=\"like\" colorscheme=\"light\" layout=\"button_count\"  size=\"small\"><\/fb:like><\/div><\/div> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It took place in a world long long ago they say: a monkey, a rabbit, and a fox struck up a friendship, mornings frolicking field and hill evenings coming home to the forest, , living thus while the years went by, when Indra, sovereign of skies, hearing of this, curious to know if it as [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":108,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[152,153],"tags":[27,28,160,159,161,163,162,100,121,122,130,158,138],"class_list":{"0":"post-43","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-miscellaneous","8":"category-of-interest","9":"tag-buddha","10":"tag-buddhism","11":"tag-buddhist-poem","12":"tag-buddhist-tale","13":"tag-japan-poem","14":"tag-japanese-legends","15":"tag-legend","16":"tag-poem","17":"tag-ryokan","18":"tag-ryokan-daigou","19":"tag-story","20":"tag-tale","21":"tag-the-rabbit-in-the-moon","22":"czr-hentry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
