Stunning. Maybe you could change the title tho? as others have said this is a representation of 1000 armed Buddha of Compassion, not the also magnificent Shiva the destroyer

[konstantinno1]

BREATHTAKING!

[LughLongArm]

Wow, by the way, Shiva is a "men" (male deity I mean) in Indian mythology, so It can't be Shiva. It's really beautiful and I can't believe what humans can do for the passion of religion senses... Thanks for posting

[prashantsehgal]

Wow so beautiful. Quite interesting and very well made with good Music... Thanks

[LunaRosaoriginal]

Very Beautiful

[Soniarmb]

Gorgeous

Thanks

Sonia from Brazil

[telestupid]

that was brilliant!

[StarSpawn06]

well it's not 1 to 1.

To me, Lord Er Lang's 3rd eye n trident make him more like Shiva than Gwaan Yin is.

Let's jus say they r incarnations of the same God -.^

[adrianasabrina]

pouco lindo não!

:D

Namastê!

[cbuddha]

That sheds a bit more light on it - thanks! So it actually is Shiva, but a Buddhist representation of it, right?

[NeoEllis]

Not really. Gwaan Yin or Guan Yin (Sanskrit: Avalokiteshvara, Japanese: Kannon) is, according to Buddhists, a Bodhisattva, an "enlightened being" who rather than attaining moksha or nirvana for themselves, willingly remains in the cycle of death and rebirth in order to aid others in reaching Buddhahood. Not the ultimate Godhead or Brahman in which Shaivites conceive Shiva to be. StarSpawn06 is, I'm afraid, incorrect.

[NeoEllis]

Guan Yin （観音） is not a Chinese interpretation of Shiva, but simply the Chinese name for the Indian Buddhist deity Avalokiteshvara. They have multiple arms and heads in common, yes (although in Chinese and Japanese art Guan Yin is depicted as having just two arms as often as not), but then many, many Indian gods do. So once again, no, this is not Shiva.

[ankurcity]

but again all the buddhists diety are ancient hindu deities with same or different names..like maar in buddhism is kamadeva of hindus..indra etc. r same. Avlokiteshvara is again a name of shiva(avlokit+ishwara), so basically it is shiva.Buddha himself is a reincarnation of vishnu for hindus.

[NeoEllis]

Again, no.

Buddhism does indeed incorporate a number of Vedic deities into it's pantheon (Indra as Shakra, Brahma, etc.), but these are largely minor deities in a Buddhist context, and not objects of worship. Shiva is often referred to as "Ishvara" (as is Krishna, the Buddha, and other figures), but Ishvara by no means exclusively means Shiva-- moreover, Shiva is never known as Avalokiteshvara. You really can't say that all Buddhist deities are simply taken from Hinduism.

[NFah43Bk]

Brother Buddhism and Hinduism differ in the philosophy and nothing else.I hope that you know that as per Buddhism nothing is permanent ultimately its a Shunya,but as per the Advaitva or any other school of Hindus there is only one thing that is permanent.so i hope you get it "Nothing compared to the absolute one thing"Lord Siddhartha was a Hindu,so Buddhism could not propound any new deities, and moreover as per Gautam Bhudda there are no deities or God,it only the nothingness

[NeoEllis]

I understand the philosophical difference between Śunyata and Brahman, brother. Regardless, it's a stretch to say there's "nothing" different about Hinduism and Buddhism save metaphysics, as there are numerous differences in practices and deities worshiped.

[NeoEllis]

Also, I wouldn't say Gotama was a Hindu in the modern sense. True he *may* have been raised in a Vedic/Upanişadic tradition (although one authority on early Buddhism, Richard Gombrich, argues that he lived outside the Brahmin cultural sphere), but that fact that he utterly rejected the Atman/Brahman schema of the Upanişads with his Anatman doctrine makes anything but a Hindu.

[StarSpawn06]

It's Tsyen Shou Gwaan Yin ( "gwaan yin with a thousand hands" )

when the Chinese first saw a statue of Shiva, they thought were confused by its androgynous features and made up a female divinity called Boddhisativa Gwaan Shr Yin / Gwoon Sei Yem.

[Clairona]

That was absolutey beautifal. I was privlaged to see that. Wow. The persision! And fluidity!

[TheApex5]

that was hard

[cbuddha]

Thanks for the details and the correction. The only reference I could find this clip described it as "Shiva Synchronized."

[Vierotchka]

This has nothing to do with Shiva - it is the Buddha of One Thousand Arms dance, performed by deaf dancers.

[Vierotchka]

Also known as Buddha of One Thousand Hands (Buddha of Compassion)
