	Questions of King Milinda
		King Milinda, accompanied by a retinue of 500 Greeks, went up to where he was, gave him a friendly and courteous greeting, and sat on one side.
		Then drew near Milinda the king to where the venerable Nagasena was; and having drawn near, he greeted the venerable Nagasena, and having passed the compliments of friendship and civility, he sat down respectfully at one side.
		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 Harm of Preaching" by James A. Long
		According to tradition, Milinda is none other than Menander, the famed Indo-Greek king whose invasion of India as far as the Indus Valley was to leave a lasting impress, not so much geographically as through the intermingling of Greek and Indian philosophy and the arts.
		No one knows for certain whether Nagasena ever lived, or whether Milinda (or the Menander of history) really did have this series of conversations -- all of which is secondary to their moral import.
		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 is clearly assuming that if a name is to be genuine, and not an empty sound, it must designate something real.
		In his reply to Milinda, Nagasena in effect argues against premise (b) by trying to show that the term ‘chariot,’ though it lacks a referent, is not for that reason a meaningless term.
		Milinda tries to extricate himself from the jaws of this contradiction by replying that the word ‘chariot’ is but a convenient designation for pole, axles, wheels, chariot-body, etc. With this concession, however, the king falls into Nagasena’s trap.

		After Milinda came into contact with Nagasena, a meeting was set to discuss the questions that Milinda had concerning Buddhism.
		Milinda’s mistake is when Nagasena said at the beginning of the discussion that, when referring to the name “Nagasena,” no individual is assumed to exist.
		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.

		Menander was the first Bactrian king to strike coins with legends in both Greek and Sanskrit ; according to tradition he also embracedthe Buddhist faith, as described in the Milinda Pañha, a classical Pali Buddhist text on the discussions between Milinda and the Buddhist sage Nāgasena.
		In the Milindanpanha, Menander is introduced as "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 byhis own sacred hymns concerning things past, present, and to come.

	The Questions of King Milinda (SBE35): Introduction
		that the name of Milinda, 'is still famous in all Buddhist countries.' But he is here drawing a very wide conclusion from an isolated fact.
		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.
		Milinda is supposed to be the Menander, who appears in the list of the Greek kings of Baktria, since he is described in the book as being a king of the Yonakas reigning at Sâgala (the Euthydemia of the Greeks), and there is no other name in the list which comes so near to Milinda.

		I have not been able by a study of this analysis to add anything to the admirable summary of the conclusions as to the relations of these two books to one another and to the Pâli which are given by M. Specht in his article in the Proceedings of the Ninth Congress.
		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 scheme is not intended as a refutation of the views, as a whole, held by any special school or individual, but as a statement of erroneous views on two special points, namely, the soul and the world.

		How can I be expected to agree with that!" But Milinda gradually realizes that "Nagasena" (the word) does not stand for anything he can point to: "Nagasena" does not designate the hairs on Nagasena's head, nor the hairs of the body, nor the "nails, teeth, skin, muscles, sinews, bones, marrow, kidneys,..." etc.
		Milinda notes that the term "Nagasena" also does not stand for Nagasena's form, or feeling or perceptions, impulses, or consciousness, nor any combination thereof.
		Milinda asks: "When someone is reborn, is he the same or different?" Nagasena answers, "Neither." What's wrong here is our initial understanding of what it means to

		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.
		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.
