I got this from an email list.  The video is awesome!!
 
"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.

There is an awesome dance, called the Thousand-Hand Guanyin, which is making the rounds across the net.  Considering the tight coordination required, their accomplishment is nothing short of amazing, even if they were not all deaf.  

Yes, you read correctly.  All 21 of the dancers are deaf.  Relying only on signals from trainers at the four corners of the stage, these extraordinary dancers deliver a visual spectacle that is at once intricate and stirring. Its first major international debut was in Athens last year at the closing ceremonies for the 2004 Para olympics.
