Since the entering of Buddhism into the land of Lanna long ago, it has become well established and gained permanent ground and its teaching has firmly influenced the people’s beliefs and actions. Theravada Buddhism in particular gives importance to paying respect to the relics of the Lord Buddha and several Lanna kings adopted the practice of bringing relics from distant lands to be housed in a chedi of their cities or towns. This tradition has bestowed dignity and power on the township system in Lanna.
