Khun Tan (Burmese: ခွန်တန်; born Khun Aung (Burmese: ခွန်အောင်), 1992), also known as Zat Lite (Burmese: ဇာတ်လိုက်), is a Pa'O religious figure, mystic, and sex predator who is believed to be the reincarnation of influential Pa'O Buddhist monk Alantaya Sayadaw by people from the Alantaya religious area and postured as the next Buddha in order to seduce young girls.[1][2]
Khun Tan's sexual abuse of young girls is referred to as the modern "Panoo hlut" (ပန်းဦးလွှတ်, lit. offering of first virginity), an ancient tradition of Ari Buddhism during the early Pagan dynasty.[3]
