OK. Not really. But kinda. Check it out. We got an email from none other than the very venerable monk, Ven. Amaranatho, wherein he sent this shot and the below explanation:

“Hi There,

“we did this graffiti with the kids and young people and Amaravati Buddhist Monastery family camp 2002. We’ll probably do another one this year. It was done on the end of the tool workshop at the monastery.

“the theme of the family camps 2002 was Annica – change .

“It says ‘fireman – the eye is burning…’ The fireman being a reference to the Buddha and the fire sermon which we must of spoke about [then]… it was a long time ago.

“The fireman – telling you how it is and following what the buddha is teaching and it will put the fire out! A fireman…Flames representing change…”

And there’s more, as Ven. kindly points out. The below shot is from a bunch found here, all the results of kids being egged on by Buddhist monks to do graffiti. What a world, huh?

What a great, it’s-actually-getting-better-all-the-time world.
