However, it was assumed that this rituals and believes may be descended from the cult of Brahmanism through the territory of Myanmar and Mon to the Lanna region.  The Lanna Yuntian can be divided into two kinds: the righteousness or the white one and the evils or the black one. The actual purposes of the LannaYuntian were to eliminate the folks’ sufferings. The three main purposes of the Yuntian worshiping were to avoid from the adversity, to gain good luck and to live long life or blissful fortunes.

The Buddha’s teachings found in the Lanna Yuntian can be categorized as the Tisaranagamana or the Threefold Refuge, Tilakkhaņa or the Three Characteristics, Ariyasacca or the Four Noble Truths, Ditthadhammikattha or the Present, Bojjhanga or the Seven Factors of Enlightenment, Buddhaguņa or Virtues of the Buddha, Dasaparamî or the Ten Perfection and the heedfulness. The above mentioned Buddhist doctrines have been summarized and written on the Yantra and applied as the method for propagating Buddhism. 

The virtues of the talisman and worshipers were Tisikkhã or the Threefold Training, Puññakiriyãvatthu or bases of meritorious action, Sangahavatthu or bases of sympathy, Brahmavihãra or sublime states of mind and Ariyamagga or the Eightfold Noble Path.  Even though, these doctrines did not directly appeare in the Yuntian but the talisman and the Yuntian worshiper must practice and keep in their mind.
