| The Concept of the 36th AMM/10th ARF/PMC Logo |
|
The blue circle around the ASEAN Logo represents the unity and collaborative spirit among ASEAN members that binds them together as a single cell.
The white ring illuminating around the red background of the ASEAN Logo symbolizes faith and peace within ASEAN.
The Bayon (four-face image of Lord Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara), Cambodia's symbol of four fundamental virtues- compassion, loving kindness, equanimity and altruism- featuring with the ASEAN Logo at the center, represents Cambodia' s warmest hospitality extended to its distinguished guests, far and near, whose comfort and well-being lies closest to the heart of the host.
These four faces of Lord Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, as a Logo of the 36th AMM/ 10th ARF/PMC, do not only pose a serene and divine look of a guardian for peace and security of ASEAN, but also represent a thoughtful gaze of far reaching vision into the cardinal directions of future economic cooperation and development among ASEAN members as well as between ASEAN and its Dialogue Partners.
FACT NOTE :
The Bayon that forms a major part of the 36th AMM/ 10th ARF/ PMC Logo is a replica of one of the 54 towers of the Bayon Temple which is located at the center of the Angkor Thom complex was built by the God-King Jayavaraman VII in dedication to Theravada Buddhism- Buddhism with Hindu background- at the end of the 12th Century. Each of those towers features a four-face image of icily grinning and gargantuan faces of Lord Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara looking into the cardinal directions in a serene, divine and unchanging phantasmagoria composure, which symbolizes the power of the Devaraja or the God-King Jayavaraman VII to protect his subjects and his Empire.
