Om jambala jalandraye svaha

I made this stencil with my friend A.  The words are a Tibetan Buddhist mantra (see #3) that bring good luck and wealth to those who repeat them.  The animal is not a cat, but a mongoose; it's supposed to be 'puking treasures'.



We painted it on the old Buddhist temple at Howard Park and Dundas West, now the studio of Daniel Lanois.  It has since been buffed.
