From the point of view of Cambodians and internationals, there are differences of opinion as to whether this Brahma image is not Brahmanical or not. Let the guardian of the four directions, called the celestial body, be the guardian of the four directions of the earth, guarding the four directions of the universe.
Michelle Trané describes that some writers consider these images, which we see with a friendly smile to all Buddhists, to be symbolic. Give to King Jayavarman VII himself, because the characteristics of King Jayavarman VII, we have seen the statue of Kong Pen Phnom In the gesture of Thean Mutra or meditation, which is called the Buddha, who is the Buddha and the king of the earth.
Another idea among all these images is that Jayavarman VII, a Buddhist, was so compassionate and compassionate. Want to spread to the four directions of Brahma: compassion (compassion), compassion (compassion), apathy (sincerity) and Mutita (joy in the face).
Overview of Bayon Temple and the gates of Angkor Thom with four Brahma statues (2000 m) and sculptures representing the face Of the bodhisattva Avalokitesvara at the temple of Ta Som, called Muk Brahma (2008).
The four directions represent the four elements of wind, water, fire, and earth. Because without these four elements, people can not live.
Jayavarman VII symbolizes the rotation of the earth. If we look at the morning sunrise from the east, the west face dies, and the faces on both sides according to the time according to the month and season of our district.
When the sun goes straight above, sometimes it goes south, sometimes it goes north, when the sun rises, the north faces light The sun is slightly darker in the south and east, sunrise and sunset usually.
There are many reasons why we unravel the mystery of the vast majority of the four faces of Brahma in On the Bayon temple. In fact, according to our Buddhist history, the story goes that God once reigned as an emperor holding a bowl, begging and being disrespected. He performed the miracle of being born as a Buddha floating in the air. Although the above explanation is acceptable, be aware that the total number of cases is 108. Related to Mr. Piseth in the Vedic and Mahayana scriptures as well. The number 54108 or 1000 actually embodies the innumerable deep symbol, the power, the great power, the infinite power of the Lord of the Universe. Containing the four great Brahma temples for the world.
When we reached the third floor, which seemed to be in the middle of a large crowd, the Kingdom of Cambodia was in turmoil due to religion. Jayavarman VII was divided into three periods: Jayavarman VII, Yasovarman I, and Siam invaded Angkor Thom in 1117.
After Jayavarman VII went to fight for national liberation for 4 years, uniting the nation until 1181, King Chey Varman VII expelled all Cham invaders from Angkor Thom, reorganized the city and built small temples in addition to the old ones to That temple became a temple during his reign.
In conclusion, we conclude that the Bayon temple was built to dedicate to the four-faced bodhisattva Lokesvara as a reference in Mahayana Buddhism. In 1933, George Trovez, the third conservationist in the Siem Reap-Angkor area, excavated during 1931 at the center of the central temple. (Large) 14 meters deep, equal to the level of the flat ground of the temple, he took the land out to study to find other treasures, but still In it, he found a broken Buddha statue 3 meters 60 meters high and was completely restored and handed over to King Si Sovath Monivong on May 17, 1935 and took to the church seven flats along the road to the gate on the side Tbong Thnal behind Suprat temple.
The temple dedicated to Buddhism is called Buddha Chey Buddha Mahanath, meaning Jay represents Jayavarman VII Buddha. Represents you keep him.
In total, the four large faces located on the tops of the Bayon temples in the central tower or the chief tower, which originally had The worship of the great Buddha Mahanath really represents Lord Lokesvara. He had a bright smile on his face and turned to look as if he wanted to wait for a friendly guest from any side. On the other hand, seeing a bright smile brings us happiness and admiration for the heroic talents of our ancestral architects. Excerpt from Koh Santepheap
