MILINDA PANHA/ QUESTIONS OF MILINDA~ MENANDER I



The Milinda Panha (Pali trans. "Questions of Milinda") is a Buddhist text, which dates from approximately 100 BCE. It is included in the Burmese edition of the Pāli Canon of Theravada Buddhism as a book of the Khuddaka Nikaya; however, it does not appear in the Thai or Sri Lankan versions.

A shorter version of it is featured in Chinese Mahayana translations. It purports to record a dialogue in which the Indo-Greek king Menander I (Pali Milinda) of Bactria, who reigned in the 2nd century BCE, poses questions on Buddhism to the sage Nāgasena.
