Question:

What IF you knew that simply having 1000 'connectors' visibly vow to dedicate 10% of their income to helping end suffering would be a catalyst for a sudden chain reaction which brings about the BetterWorld we say we want? What IF you somehow knew this to be true? Would you want to be one of those First 1000?

Avalokiteshvara (http://ccbs.ntu.edu.tw/FULLTEXT/JR-BH/bh117498.htm) requested "If I need to benefit all the sentient beings until samsara ends, may I have one thousand arms, and one thousand eyes. May these one thousand arms manifest as a thousand universal monarchs, and the one thousand eyes manifest as a thousand Buddhas". Buddha Amitabha granted him his wish with one thousand arms and one thousand eyes, each eye in the palm of each hand. You are part of that wish.
