Thousand Hand Buddha

Saw Thousand Hand Guan Yin performance on TV years ago. Finally found it on youtube. (Thank you Internet) It’s a good thing I didn’t see this performance when I was a kid. The Buddha statues already scared the crap out of me. I used to hid my face behind my brothers so I wouldn’t have to make eye contact with the unnervingly serene figures during our temple visits. Had I seem something like this when I was little, I totally would have been waiting for the Guan Yin’s hands to move. Actually, I kinda don’t want to look over to our shrine right now. I’m going to avoid her gentle gaze for a few days.
