Zawgyi (alchemist)

Zawgyi (Burmese: ဇော်ဂျီ) is a semi-immortal human alchemist and mystic with supernatural powers and often seen with a magic stick and a red hat.

[1] Zawgyi has supernatural powers such as flying through the air, travelling beneath the earth and oceans, as well as performing divination, necromancy and resurrection.

He dwells alone in Himavanta, an invisible mythical forest set deep in the Himalaya Mountains, where he forages herbs for magical purposes.

He gained it by medicines derived from trees, roots, tubers and bulb of deep forests and legendary ball of mercury which possesses supernatural powers.

The goal of this practice is to achieve the timeless state of the Weizza, who awaits the appearance of the future Buddha, Metteya.
