Nāgasena was a Sarvastiva Buddhist sage born in Kashmir and lived around 150 BCE. His answers to questions about Buddhism posed by Menander I (Pali: Milinda), the Indo-Greek king of northwestern India (modern Pakistan), are recorded in the Milinda Pañha.
Milind-Panha or Milindo-Panho is a Pali treatise which means "Questions of King Milind"{Indianised form of Menander or Menderos}.It deals with the conversation that took place between Sage Nagasen and King Milind in the form of questions and answers. Its author is undoubtedly Sage Nagasen, who wrote it originally in Pali language which had close affinity with Kishtwari {language spoken in district kishtwar}.[1]
There is almost universal agreement that this text was later expanded by numerous other authors, following a question and answer pattern established in the early books. The version extant today is very long, and has signs of inconsistent authorship in the later volumes. There is no agreed-upon point at which Nagasena's authorship may be said to end (and the work of other hands begins), nor has this been perceived as an inherently important distinction by monastic scholars.
King Milinda is a brilliant and formidable King. Until he meets Nagasena, he out questions and out logics all of the Buddhist monks of that day. He so enjoys Nagasena's answers and similes that explain 'hard to grasp' concepts on dependent origination, regularly shouting, "Give me an illustration!" This video series is a short anthology of similes from the Heart Sutra, the Diamond Sutra and the Hymn to Perfect Wisdom taken from the book Buddhist Scriptures translated by Edward Conze ISBN: 0-14-044088-7 by Penguin. In the Mahayana, wisdom is Prajna Paramita (Perfect Wisdom) - the 'wisdom that has gone beyond' or 'transcendental wisdom.'

Golden statue of Nagasena His Sanskrit name is Nagasena, which means an army of dragons and symbolizes strong supernatural power. Nagasena was an eloquent speaker and debater. He was famous all over India for his preachings on the "hear no evil" maxim. The senses of hearing is one of the six sources through which mankind become aware of the world. Therefore a practitioner of Buddhism should avoid listening to decadent sounds and in particular other people's secrets. Thus he is often portrayed as scratching his ear, a gesture symbolizing the purification of the sense of hearing in the search for peace and quiet. (Nama Sansekerta-nya adalah Nagasena, yang berarti pasukan naga dan melambangkan kekuatan supranatural yang kuat. Nagasena seorang yang fasih berbicara dan debat. Dia terkenal di ...

Una serie de dibujos que estoy haciendo, esta es la primera parte, en las demás los personajes se transformaran y lucirán diferente. Los dibujos pretenden crear un espacio y un tiempo en la imaginación para contar una historia, uno no sabe exactamente donde están estos personajes, pero existen en esa especie de paraíso. Espero que les agrade como a mi :) Gracias por ver. La pintura del paisaje que aparece al principio y la de la flor blanca que aparece al final no son mías (son de ambientación) xD Música: Han Shan Temple
This is another boring day
I'm sitting on the coach again
I'm all alone again
You're not here with me
To share my time with and
I'm all alone again
Never ending love...
Painful words in my heart tear simply up
Never ending love
Fill my heart with your love and never let me stop!
This is another boring day
So now we have some time to fight
To make the wrong things right
You're not here with me
To stand at by my side
And make the wrong things right
Never ending love...
Painful words in my heart tear simply up
Never ending love...
