Forwarded from Temple of the Immovable (Dampa Zangpo)
Myanmar (Burma) is primarily a Theravada Buddhist country.
However, The Weizza path is an esoteric system of occult practices (such as recitation of spells, samatha and alchemy) believed to lead to life as a weizza (Burmese: ဝိဇ္ဇာ Pali: vijjā), a semi-immortal and supernatural being who awaits the appearance of the future Buddha, Maitreya (Arimeitaya).
In many ways this takes on a Tantric form with worship of the Nats (local Gods) and Saints.
Vijjā is a Pali word meaning wisdom.
In Sanskrit one will see this word as Vidya.
Interestedly enough, the worship of Nat and Maitreya is similar to how Vidyaraja (Wisdom) Kings are worshipped like Yidam in Vajrayana.
A Weizza path almost has an Aghori / Shugenjya like approach to it.
Weizzas are divided into four major orders:
• The Pyada Weizza, who work with mercury
• The Than Weizza, who work with iron
• The Se Weizza, who specializes in medicine
• The In Weizza, who specialize in yantra signs and squares
