Pau Cin Hau

Pau Cin Hau was the founder and the name of a religion followed by some Tedim, Hakha in Chin state and Kale in Sagaing division in the north-western part of Myanmar.

He claimed to have a series of dreams in 1900 in which an elderly saintly man instructed, later identified as the creator god, handled him a book with symbols and taught him certain shapes.

The missionaries rejected the traditional alcoholic drink zu contrasting with its permission by Pau Cin Hau.

[1] It can be said that Pau Cin Hau's preaching opened the Chin to Christianity in spite of the differences among religions.

Some scholars have considered it a local version of Christianity, but others have noted the differences and Pau Cin Hau's opposition.
