| | According to tradition, Menander embraced the Buddhist faith, as described in the Milinda Pañha, a classical Pali Buddhist text on the discussions between Milinda and the Buddhist sage Nāgasena. | | | Menander I (also known as Milinda in Sanskrit, Pali), was one of the Greek kings of the Indo-Greek Kingdom in northern India from 155 or 150 to 130 BC. | | | "King of the city of Sâgala in India, Milinda by name, learned, eloquent, wise, and able; and a faithful observer, and that at the right time, of all the various acts of devotion and ceremony enjoined by his own sacred hymns concerning things past, present, and to come. |

| | "The Harm of Preaching" by James A. Long |
| | Milinda -- Then that must have happened, Nagasena, through the act of the Buddha, it must have been the Buddha who was the chief cause to destroy them. | | | Milinda -- Venerable Nagasena, you monks say that the Buddha averts harm from all beings, and does them good. | | | He does not present any formal outline of doctrine, but by means of analogies drawn from the daily events he leads the king himself to thresh the chaff of false thinking from the wheat of true perception. |

| | Milinda Paper |
| | After the discussion, Milinda and his followers were converted to Buddhism and the King seemed to be taken back by the argumentative skills and intellect of the monk. | | | After Milinda came into contact with Nagasena, a meeting was set to discuss the questions that Milinda had concerning Buddhism. | | | This is where the nihilist ideas of Buddhism are seen, but if Milinda listens to what the king is discussing, he is talking about names, and what assumptions one puts on names. |

| | Milinda the king here says thus: ‘I came in a chariot;’ and being requested, ‘Your majesty, if you came in a chariot, declare to me the chariot,’ he fails to produce any chariot. | | | The most important of these kings was Menander, known as Milinda in Buddhist sources, who ruled about 115-90 BC. | | | King Milinda said: "I will grant you, Nagasena, that Nirvana is absolute Ease, and that nevertheless one cannot point to its form or shape, its duration or size, either by simile or explanation, by reason or by argument. |

| | The Chariot By Bill Vallicella |
| | The Chariot argument in the Milindapanha is presented in the form of a dialog between King Milinda (Menander, Menandros) and the monk Nagasena. | | | Milinda questions this assertion, insisting that there must some individual who bears the name ‘Nagasena,’ for otherwise there would be no one who applies himself to meditation, keeps the precepts, earns merit, etc. | | | The king having arrived at their meeting in a chariot, the monk challenges the king to show him the chariot. |

| | The Questions of King Milinda (SBE35): Introduction |
| | It follows that the greatest of all Buddhist writers known to us by name regarded the 'Questions of Milinda' as a work of so great authority that an opinion put by its author into the mouth of Nâgasena should be taken as decisive. | | | Finally, Professor Kern, of Leiden--who believes that Buddha is the sun, and most of his principal disciples stars--believes also not only that our Nâgasena is an historical person, but also that there never was a Buddhist cleric of that name; and that Nâgasena is simply Patañgali, the author of the Yoga philosophy, under another name. | | | It consists of the discussion of a number of points of Buddhist doctrine treated in the form of conversations between King Milinda and Nâgasena the Elder (Thera). |

| | Buddhism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | According to some thinkers both in the East and the West, the doctrine of "non-Self", may imply that Buddhism is a form of nihilism or something similar. | | | Some of the major schools of Buddhism that developed subsequently maintained the former interpretation, but other influential schools adopted the latter interpretation and took measures to establish their view as the orthodox Buddhist position. | | | One such proponent of this hard-line "no self" position was the monk Nagasena, who appears in the Questions of King Milinda, composed during the period of the Hellenistic Bactrian kingdoms of the 2nd and 1st centuries BCE. |

| | Their spirited dialogue, dramatic and witty, eloquent and inspired, explores the diverse problems of Buddhist thought and pratice from the perspective of a probing Greek intellectual who is both perplexed and fascinated by the strangely rational religion he discovered on the Indian subcontinent. | | | This work, preserved in the Pali language, is an imaginative record of a series of discussions between the Bactrian Greek King Milinda, who reigned in the Punjab, and the Buddhist sage Bhante Nagasena. | | | In this Buddhist Publication Society book, editor N.K.G. Mendis abridges the Milindapanha, a spirited dialogue between the Greek King Milinda and the Buddhist sage Nagasena in the body of work called the Pali Canon. |

| | The Questions of King Milinda, Part II: Introduction |
| | Throughout the whole story the attention is constantly directed to the very great ability of the two disputants, and to the fact that they had been specially prepared through their whole existence for this great encounter, which was to be of the first importance for religion and for the world. | | | The proposition in the Kathâ Vatthu II, 8 that the Buddha, in the ordinary affairs of life, was not transcendental, agrees with Nâgasena's argument in the Milinda, part ii, pp. | | | And it seems the most probable explanation that the authors of these verses, in adopting these names, had the Milinda story in their mind. |

| | Menander King - Milinda |
| | The greatest of the Indo-Greek kings and the one best known to Western and Indian classical authors; he is believed to have been a patron of the Buddhist religion and the subject of an important Buddhist work, the Milinda-panha ("The Questions of Milinda"). | | | (Pali: "Questions of Milinda"), lively dialogue on Buddhist doctrine with questions and dilemmas posed by King Milinda --i.e., Menander, Greek ruler of a large Indo-Greek empire in the late 2nd century BC-- and answered by Nagasena, a senior monk. | | | Composed in northern India in perhaps the 1st or 2nd century AD (and possibly originally in Sanskrit) by an unknown author, the Milinda-panha is the one noncanonical work whose authority was accepted implicitly by such commentators as Buddhaghosa, who quoted it frequently. |
