Shin Iza Gawna (Burmese: ရှင်အဇ္ဇဂေါဏ), also known as Shinmahtee Sayadaw (Burmese: ရှင်မထီးဆရာတော်), is a prominent Burmese weizza who lived during the Pagan era. After achieving success with the philosopher's stone, Shin Iza Gawna is said to have caused gold and silver to rain down in Pagan. This miraculous event led to significant wealth for his followers and is believed to be the origin of the construction of thousands of pagodas in Pagan.[1]
