A friend of mine posted this on her facebook page. It's the Chinese Dance of the Thousand-Hand Bodhisattva, and since I'm 25% Asian and a huge Steely Dan fan, I thought I'd repost it here. Thanks BBC....enjoy!
"A Bodhisattva is motivated by pure compassion and love. Their goal is to achieve the highest level of being: that of a Buddha. Bodhisattva is a Sanskrit term which translates as: Bodhi [enlightenment] and sattva [being]. And their reason for becoming a Buddha is to help others. The Bodhisattva will undergo any type of suffering to help another sentient being, whether a tiny insect or a huge mammal. In Shakyamuni Buddha’s 'Perfection of Wisdom in 8,000 Lines' it states: “I will become a savior to all those beings, I will release them from all their sufferings.” If this sounds familiar to anyone not acquainted with Buddhism, then you only need to think of the example of Jesus Christ, a true Bodhisattva."

Being a dancer's mom & having served a decade+ as a stage Mom- note the 2 'spotters' on either side of this stage...they are keeping the timing 'on' as these lovely dancers are deaf!! Truly Amazing!! :-)/BBC
What's a stage-mom? Were you a pageant mom?
How do you know the dancers are deaf?
Great song!! Great dancing!! No way those chicks are deaf. How many oriental deaf girls can dance and look like that. Not good odds in my sick mind..
