Milindapanha

Also known as Questions of King Milinda, Milinda Pañha

The Milindapanha, or Questions of King Milinda, is a Buddhist text in Pali, probably compiled between the 1st century BCE and the 2nd century CE. It records a dialogue in which the monk Nagasena answers the questions of King Milinda, identified with the Indo-Greek king Menander I, on rebirth, the self and other points of doctrine. It is highly regarded in Theravada Buddhism.
