This Milinda has been identified with considerable confidence by scholars as the Greek king Menander of Bactria, in the dominion founded by Alexander the Great, which corresponds with much of present day Afghanistan. Menander's realm thus would have included Gandhara, where Buddhism was flourishing at that time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat is most interesting about the Milindapanha is that it is the product of the encounter of two great civilizations - Hellenistic Greece and Buddhist India - and is thus of continuing relevance as the wisdom of the East meets the modern Western world.

And Nagasena's responses are full of wisdom, wit, and helpful analogies.\u003c\/p\u003e  ","brand":"Horner, I.B.","offers":[{"title":"Vol 1","offer_id":42108818128990,"sku":"PTS:130468","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Vol 2","offer_id":42108818161758,"sku":"PTS:130479","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 Volume Set (Damaged)","offer_id":42108818194526,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Vol 2 (Damaged)","offer_id":42108818227294,"sku":"PTS:130475 Damaged","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2 Volume Set","offer_id":42108818260062,"sku":"PTS:132639","price":77.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0591\/3677\/0142\/files\/pts_132639_149048ef-ac77-4db8-9158-2d46e8106185.jpg?v=1760547967"},{"product_id":"6277","title":"Middle Length Sayings Vol 1 - 3","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: firebrick;\"\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e PTS members must order directly from the PTS.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe Majjhima Nikaya, or \"Middle-length Discourses\" of the Buddha, is the second of the five nikayas (collections) of the Sutta Pitaka.
