The Grand Palace - Phra Mondop

這是7月15日那天早上去泰國曼谷的大皇宮遊記之藏經閣（Phra Mondop）篇。在玉佛寺的旁邊有這樣的一個藏經閣，意思就是圖書館，不過這個圖書館不對外開放，金碧輝煌的華麗裝飾在盛夏豔陽下顯得格外耀眼。玉佛寺區域著名的舍利佛塔也在藏經閣的旁邊。

藏經閣一隅的佛像，在金碧輝煌中顯得樸素很多。

藏經閣也有這樣雕工很很細的佛像？

不過感覺這個不是佛像耶，這個應該是跟玉佛寺那邊一樣的迦樓羅（Garuda），迦樓羅是一種巨鳥，也常以半人半鳥的型態出現。不過這邊只有迦樓羅，沒有那伽（Nagas）那個多頭龍的形像。

藏經閣附近也有大象耶，看到大象就覺得很泰國。

藏經閣跟玉佛寺附近也有這個吳哥窟模型（Model of Angkor Wat）耶。

再來一張吳哥窟模型的照片，

在藏經閣附近的一個門，門上面有兩個金色的夜叉（Yaksha）。

我們一行六個人發現除了雕龍畫壁的華麗建築物之外，有些小地方也滿滿有著綠意。

好像是道士的樸素雕刻。

樹叢中還躲著一個雕像。

這個雕像的鬍子好長。

途中經過一個地方叫做「皇室陵寢」（Hor Phra Naga），據說是放著皇室成員的骨灰，經過的時候這裡正在念經，周遭有用路障圍起來不讓旅客進入。

皇室陵寢旁的壁畫迴廊中，有很多婦人也正在一起念經。

玉佛寺地區有一處也是圖書館（Hor Phra Monthian Dharma），不過沒有藏經閣雄偉跟華麗。

不過這個屋頂還是很漂亮。
