Milind Pañha is a Buddhist conversation recorded in the year 100 BCE and 200 CE. It is the conversation between the Buddhist Sage Nãgasema and Indo-Greek king Menander I who resigned in the 2nd century BC. It is also known as one of the best-known books to get information about that time period, about the culture, traditions, customs. Milinda Pañha is apostolic in the Burmese Buddhism that is a part of the book Khudaka Nikaya. It is deceased as part of the Chinese Mahayana and is the translation of the canon. Inspired by the Theravãda text in Sinhalese script, Milind Pañha is not considered religious by the Buddhist of Thai and Sri Lanka.
