By the way, have you seen this dance of 1000-Arm Kannon. There are a few versions by different dance troupes.

Well, it certainly beats the pee out of rapping, unsmiling, unhappy looking hip-hop monks dressed in circus tents and upholstery ...

Sure. That sounds fun.

Heart Sutra?

It'd also be great if one of the flute guys could lay down a sample.
