wow! amazing!!
thanks to fuzzybumblebee for showing me :)

Thousand Hand Guan Yin Performance by China Deaf Group. The Power of Teamwork and Perfect Co-ordination.

As long as you are kind and there is love in your heart, a thousand hands will naturally come to your aid. As long as you are kind and there is love in your heart, you will reach out with a thousand hands to help others.

Guan Yin is the bodhisattva of compassion,revered by Buddhists as the Goddess of Mercy. Her name is short for Guan Shi Yin. Guan means to observe, watch, or monitor; Shi means the world; Yin means sounds, specifically sounds of those who suffer. Thus, Guan Yin is a compassionate being who watches for, and responds to, the people in the world who cry out for help.

A Zen Koan:

Thousand Hands and Eyes Kwan Seum Bosal, the Bodhisattva of Compassion. This Bodhisattva is very high class. She has a thousand hands and eyes. She is always helping your mind and body and saving all people. She is able to do everything. She is a great Bodhisattva. But,

Which of these eyes are the correct eyes?

Which hands are the correct hands?

If you attain this, you are Kwan Seum Bosal.
