Thousand-Hand Bodhisattva
Posted by Ajit on December 15, 2006. 2 Comments
One of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Stunningly beautiful but relatively simple. Japanese Buddhism (and much of the Oriental Buddhism) is centered on developing two emotions within you. Namely, to be compassionate to others (common among religions) but to also constantly create a sense of awe within you of the world, especially in regards to nature.
The video certainly does that. It shows the human shape in a dynamic form that can work in perfect synchronicity with others. Like old Hollywood musical numbers, the sheer number of bodies can be overwhelming and, in this case, become a mystical event.
Don’t miss this, you will probably want to watch it again.

It is that more impressive because all the dancers are deaf – they can’t hear the music yet they are perfectly synchronized.
i agree.
