This ancient work, written in the Pali language, explores various philosophical questions about the nature of reality, the self, and the teachings of the Buddha. It is known for its logical reasoning and clarity, making complex ideas accessible to readers.
The text is structured as a series of questions and answers, where King Milinda seeks to understand Buddhist concepts.
