The yantra (lines, shapes, and the alphabets) has certain meaning. For example, the lines within the yantra means the "bones" of the yantra, the continuous line (line drawn back and forth continuously) means the umbilical cord of the Buddha, the circle means the face of the Buddha or the Brahmin (in the Thai sense - the Hindu god "Pra Prom"), the triangle means the three-fold teaching of the Buddha (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha) or the three worlds or the three Hindu gods (Isuan, Prom, Narai - Thai pronunciations), the square means the four worlds or the four elements (soil, water, wind, fire), plus other symbols used such as the image of the Buddha, the half moon, the sun over the moon, and etc., each have its own particular meaning.
