Key Wisdom of Buddhism: Nāgasena vs King Milinda – Episode 1

Key Wisdom of Buddhism: Nāgasena vs King Milinda – Episode 1 In ancient India, a Greek-born king, King Milinda (Menander I), rules with intellect, power, and deep spiritual doubt. Renowned for his sharp mind and relentless questioning, he challenges Buddhist monks across the land… until he meets Venerable Nāgasena, a disciple of the Dhamma whose wisdom cuts through illusion like a blade. This 40-minute dramatization brings to life the opening of the Milindapañha (“The Questions of King Milinda”), a revered dialogue preserved in the Theravāda Buddhist canon.
