There is an old Buddhist legend where a monkey, an otter, a jackal and a rabbit are all hoping to do a good deed on the Uposatha, or the Buddhist sabbath,believing a good deed will bring them great rewards.
An old man passes by them, begging for food, and so the monkey gathers fruit from the highest reaches of the trees, while the otter catches fish forthe man, and the jackal—less honorably—steals him a lizard and some milk curds.
The rabbit only knows how to gather grass, though, which he knows can’t serve the man for food, and so he offershimself, throwing himself on the man’s fire. The rabbit does not burn, though, and the man reveals himself to be Śakra, the Jade Emperor, or the ruler of Heaven in Buddhist mythology. He is so touched bythe rabbit’s selflessness, that he lifts the smoke from his fire to leave an impression on the moon of the rabbit, for generations to come.
Interestingly, there is a very similar legend involvingQuetzalcoatl, an ancient Aztec deity, who was starving by a roadside and had a rabbit offer himself up to save him.
There is an opposite tale also in MesoAmerican legends, of a deity calledNanauatzin who offered himself freely as sacrifice to become the sun, while the wealthy god Tecciztecatl hesitated multiple times to light himself as the moon—and because of his resistance the moon wasdeclared to never glow as brightly as the sun, and one of the gods threw a rabbit in the face of the moon as an insult, which remains there to this day.
