柬埔寨暹粒省暹粒市吳哥王城

譯名為Bayon Temple,意即王位。位於柬埔寨暹粒省暹粒市吳哥城(Angkor Thom, Siem Reap)中央,為大乘佛教寺院,是吳哥城內最重要的建築之一。約十一世紀由蘇耶跋摩一世(Suryavarman I,1010~1050在位)始建,十二世紀末至十三世紀初由闍耶跋摩七世(Jayavarman VII,1181~約1220在位)重建,以資紀念征服占族的勝利。闍耶跋摩七世篤信大乘佛教,尤其尊崇觀音菩薩,在位期間於全國各地興建多座寺院,改變了該國以信奉印度教為主的狀況,是大乘佛教在該國最興盛的時期。一九九二年隨吳哥遺址整體列為聯合國教科文組織世界文化遺產。
 該寺平面呈方形,由兩層方台和台上的主塔組成,以石塊砌成。主寺門向東,寺前左右各有一方形聖池。兩層方台皆設迴廊,互相銜接,可通達中央頂部。第一層方台高1公尺,第二層高2.4公尺。兩層方台和迴廊上的塔共計五十四座,中央主塔高出地面約45公尺。每座石塔四面各雕一面帶微笑的觀音菩薩頭像,共有二百一十六面;菩薩均頂戴寶冠,耳佩環飾,面容隨著光線而千變萬化。整體建築工程宏偉,創意新穎,獨具匠心。
