纳菩梅汝寺—泰国寺院

　　泰国纳菩梅汝寺（Wat Na Phramen）
　　纳菩梅汝寺(Wat Na Phramen)的意思是须弥山寺或火葬台，位于艾尤塔雅城外的北边，面对着古皇宫，最早可能是为某位君主举行火化大典的地方，也是在战争中唯一没有被缅甸军占领的寺庙。
　　虽然纳菩梅汝寺曾经荒废，但经拉玛三世重修的大雄宝殿仍是艾尤塔雅王朝最大的殿宇，以及有两排绘着莲花的方柱， 每排8根。回廊中的支柱更高大，很是壮观。
　　大雄宝殿的佛像高6公尺，宽4.4公尺，穿着皇帝的衣服，是泰国同一类型佛像中最大的，而它的名字 “PhraPuttha-Nimit-Wichit-Marnmolee-Shisanphet-Borommatri-Lokkanat”也长得令人印象深刻。
　　在大雄宝殿旁有一间小佛殿，殿里有一尊用绿色石头做成的佛像，你有没有发现它很特别呢？它可是泰国唯一一尊端坐的佛，传说它是从斯里兰卡请来的，到现在大约已经有1500年喽！
　　西元1569年艾尤塔雅与缅甸第一次作战，此寺是两位国王和谈的地方，西元1760年缅甸王又来犯，并把大炮放在这里以便炮击对面的皇宫，不料缅甸王在亲自操作大炮时不慎爆炸受伤，还没回到缅甸边界就死了。
　　不知道是因为此寺也有缅甸和尚，还是因为缅甸王曾在此受伤，艾尤塔雅沦陷时，只有此寺未遭战火波及。
　　Literally the name of this temple means : the temple in front of the royal pyre. Royal prisoners (after being executed) were apparently cremated on the grounds. Wat Na Phra Men was built during the later Ayutthaya period.
　　Most temple Ubosoths of that period have been destroyed and only the base, with some walls, and supporting pillars remain. Often the ubosoths built during that time were quite large and impressive. The ubosoth of Wat Na Phra Men, though restored during the reign of King Rama III, give a good impression of how Ayutthaya temples and ubosoths of the late Ayutthaya period must have looked like.
　　The principal Buddha image at Wat Na Phra Men is seated in the 'subduing Mara' position, and wears royal attire. Buddha images were royal attire were kind of typical for the later Ayutthaya period. In a separate temple building, a seated Buddha image of the Dvaravati period can be seen.
