This Is The Best Art Performance - From China ( Thousand-hand ~ Guan Yin ~ 千手观音 )
Guanyin or Kwanyin, the Goddess of Mercy.
~ China Disabled People's Performing Art Troupe, "Thousand-hand Guan Yin" Guan Yin is a Chinese goddess.Feeling music through speakers and guided by hand gestures, a troupe of deaf dancers in Beijing take steps to champion the rights of disabled people across the world ~
" Being deaf and mute, these disabled female performers endure pain and suffering in vigorous training, simply to deliver a message of love to mankind. "
Guanyin or Kwanyin (aka), the Goddess of Mercy also known by Westerners as the Chinese Goddess of love and compassion has long occupied a unique place not only in Buddhism, but also in Chinese culture. The Chinese word "Guanyin is an abbreviation of "Guan shi yin" which denotes" seeing the voice of the world if rendered literally. Such a deity can be called as the deity who looks in every direction or the "Regarder of the cries of suffering beings".
According to legend, Guanyin, the youngest daughter of a king, defied her father when he sought a husband for her. The angry king sent her away to a monastery with instructions that she should be compelled to obey. This only strengthened her resolve. So the king set fire to the monastery and ordered her execution when she was caught sitting erect reciting sutras. As she was about to be beheaded, the sword broke into two and a tiger from nowhere carried her away to a forest.
One day from afar she saw the king was sick and not responding to treatment, so she severed her arms and eyes to sacrifice them for him. The grieved king besought heaven and earth to make his daughter whole again. Soon, Guanyin had arms and eyes by the thousand, and bowing before her father, she urged him to practise good deeds to which the king readily agreed.
Actually legends have Guanyin in various forms. But the story of the Goddess in this one-thousand-hand form has had an immense appeal. Thus the thousand-hand deity is no longer an exclusive religious symbol but has become a popular cultural icon to religious followers and common folks alike.
The legendary Thousand-hand Guanyin as interpreted by the special artists plucked the heartstrings of the audience. In their rendition of the legendary goddess, they not only demonstrated their superb dancing skills in perfect unison with elegant and forceful movements, but attained a ye higher level to turn it into a live myth full of artistic appeal and stirring power on the stage.
Though we only saw one leading dancer on the stage, we saw in our mind's eye a whole collective where 21 troupe members fused together as one human being with one shared heart. What we saw on the stage was the one Thousand-hand Guanyin, serene, holy and beautiful, that existed in each of the dancers' hearts. While enjoying the colourful performance, we experienced a profound sense of tranquility and composure, a process of cleansing and purification of our souls.
We spetators can hardly imagine how much time and effort these artists must have invested in bringing about such a unique work of art. And only a collective with all its crew members bound together in unity, harmony and friendliness could make it.
The image of the Thousand-hand Guanyin is symbolic of maternal love and infinite compassion.
And the enlightenment we gain from the performance itself is that people with disabilities are also creators of both material and spiritual wealth. Such a spirit of perseverance in pursuing and creating a better life in the face of adversity should be followed by all of us.

You must be proud with your culture and your respect of time and work every bady would be proud to be Chinese
I will admit that I am crying. This was not only well done, but heart rendering joy and this performance was done and I was able to see and hear it. Thank you to all the performers and talented people who presented this.
That was really magnificent! If I was in the audience I would have cried. Amazing! ❤️Long live the goddess of 1000 hands Beautiful Goddess Kuan Yin ❤️👑❤️ #goddessofcompassion #goddessoflove #themother ❤️
I must have watched this at least twenty times now, and I still say it's the most moving and inspirational video I've ever seen on KZread. The lead Thousand Hand dancer is also arguably the most beautiful, putting all those coarse, painted icons of western popular culture deep into the shade. But let's not forget that every one of these performers is a star - not the ego-ridden type to which we're mostly subjected these days, but the true type which joins with others to illuminate the firmament. I rarely say 'thank you' to KZread uploaders, but this is an exceptional case. Thank you, eursweet 7, whoever you are. You've given us something of rare and real value here.
As a writer I rarely have difficulty finding the right words, but this is beautiful and inspirational beyond my capacity to say why. Thank you.
I was so inspired and moved. Humanity and its freedom can never be taken away. I was born in this world and I will achieve freedom and independence even if I use my feet. Who dare call me a useless eater and I have never asked you for anything. Freedom is in my heart and I will inspire others to be free like we were meant to be. Great watching this video.
浓烈的唐风，盛世华彩，千手观音宝相庄严，人的力量竟能至此！为生命喝彩！！
this is incredible, it take a lot of hand eye coordination, focus, feeling,and ability to pull this off
I can still remember the feeling when I first watched this. Really amazing.

太感人了，看完之后眼泪直流，人间有大爱。
This is just breathtakingly awesome and beautiful😍 they really prove that small disability doesn't stop them from doing what they want and probably love❤️👌🏼
Our Humanities teacher showed us this clip in class and everyone was mesmerized by the hand dance. I didn't get to hear what dance it was called but today I saw Sansara by Ron Fricke and I'm just happy to find this again!
To be honest in my opinion there are no words that can truly describe how extraordinary this is. I absolutely enjoy it every time I see it.
WOW WOW WOW NO WORDS CAN DESCRIBE HOW BEAUTIFUL AND WELL EXECUTED BRAVO
Excelente, la forma de reproducir las imágenes y es impresionante la coordinación, sin duda de lo mejor. Gracias
That was sooo stunning! Thanks for sharing!
As a performing arts academy owner/owner, I could really appreciate these young people. A wonderful inspirational video................Beautiful.
Damn, it usually takes a lot more to move me, but after reading tha story and watching these great performers I'm not ashamed to admit getting a little teary eyed- lol - this was very heart warming and inspiring - thank you so much for this visual and message
So beautiful and inspiring!! Beautiful people with courage and strength! Buddhism in China is a good and unifying thing.
2018 from USA, Love the example of beauty and acceptance...
The Chinese arts and cultures is just beautiful and magnificent! !
This truly is something magnificent! It's so beautiful to watch and make a me year up a little. The Chinese culture is such a beautiful culture, and their performances are nothing short of amazing! This performance was mind-blowingly glorious!

They have performed around the world to show the beauty of Dance & Art from CHINA for friendship and harmony with LOVE for one another and gain the appreciation of all that witness the performances.
It is so wonderful and they are so awesome!! Very inspired...
why would someone give this a thumbs down
wow! just wow!!! cant really say they're disabled after this b/c they do more than most people who have all their body parts and not deaf or blind!!
Absolutely beautiful. An impossible feat for an un disabled person. Yet, through sheer will power and perseverance these people have shown the world a beauty that can only be described as a lotus blooming in the muck and mire of a filthy swamp. Bravo
Hari OM! Pranam (thank you) so much for posting this! Such a beautiful performance of traditional dance! It is always lovely to see positive and inspiring things while there is so much hatred, violence and sadness in the world today. Om Shanti!
This theatrical performance was amazing. For those of us that deal with a disability; life can be very hard if you don't feel you have a purpose. This group of amazing men and women showed what can be accomplished despite disability.
Oh my god, this performance totally touched the deepest spot of my heart! Bravo!
Every time I see this performance tears are in my eyes. I'm proud of my country
The first time I saw this. It was actually a breath taking. Forgot to breath a while. Every time I watch a bit of cry of joy. Really thought a work of heaven. now I know a work of able disabled!
This is a great example of what can happen when we work together. I don't quite understand where the hearing I pared fit in with this but I'm glad to know they are included in the education given at this institution. Thank you for pursuing the dreams of many:)
The Lady of Mercy, of a Thousand Hands of Compassion:)
That's so beautiful. And to think they mastered these performances with their disabilities. That's just amazing.
What a privilege to be able to watch this. So much work went into this.

Being deaf and mute.. is the way of the merciful faith to open our eyes and hearts.. Sincere thanks to a very dear friend for share
Extraordinary performance! Beautiful. Amazing video, thanks for sharing 👍🏽🙏🏽❤️
太美了 次次看 次次都落泪 我想到了我一个练舞蹈的姐姐。。。这些美丽的中国少女 虽然没有大部分人健全 但是她们绽放地如此美丽 世界上这么多美丽的东西和事物，为什么偏偏就有些人只关注那些我们无能为力的东西呢，还在这里吵。我们应该多宽容和赞扬，在千手观音面前。愿来到这里的人能拥有一颗宽容善良的心，吉祥如意
