Bayu Temple is located in the center of Angkor Thom. It was built at the end of the 12th century and is a temple with the theme of a peaceful and smiling Guanyin Bodhisattva. Bayu Temple symbolizes this Mount Miyama. According to the ancient Indian view of the universe, Mount Sumi is the holy city where the gods live, and is also the place where the gods come. The outermost cloister relief of the Bayu Temple is worth seeing. These stone sculptures vividly depict many people's life scenes in the 12th century. Fishing, hunting, cock fighting, chess, and even wrestling and childbirth scenes are all manifested. The expressions of the characters and animals are vivid, as if from the surface of the stone, the body temperature and taste are conveyed. These are extremely rare in other temples, and there are many interesting scenes inside, which are worth to slowly enjoy around the corridor. The special place of the Bayu Temple is not just the difference in the religious view of the king. At that time, the true wax country was occupied by the Siamese kings in the capital. The interior of the dynasty was filled with the atmosphere of hope for long-lasting peace. Moreover, Fuxing Qi after this also had the necessity of carrying out bold administrative reforms. Due to the long-term prosperity of Hinduism, the Brahmin monks who are responsible for the sacrifices have a growing right and have a great say in the national government. Among them, there are many people who are full of private pockets. In order to reform this social institution, Jehova VII actively introduced Mahayana Buddhism and tried to build New bureaucratic system. At the Bayu Temple, you can fully feel the atmosphere of seeking Bodhi and the next beings.
