A Bayon Face - the Middle Path
The Bayon is one of the most distinctive temples at Ankor, due to the faces carved into the stone towers. There are 50 towers in the main space and 200 giant faces look down at you as you explore.
The faces are thought to represent the compassionate Buddha or Bodhisattva Avalokitsvara. A Bodhisattva is a Buddha who forgoes Nirvana to remain on earth to help others for find the middle path.
