Summary:

"The Questions of Milinda is a discussion between a Greek king, King Milinda, and the scholarly Buddhist monk Nagasena. King Milinda, lamenting that there are no worthy philosophical interlocutors in his realm, begins a search for philosophers across the region. Nagasena agrees to debate with Kind Milinda on the condition he agree to converse as a scholar. Ultimately, King Milinda converts to Buddhism and takes monastic robes."-- Provided by publisher.
