It should be noted that it wasn't just Alexander that brought Hellenism to the region. There were already Greek populations there that had been deported by the Persians.

I am a Sri lankan Sinhalese Buddhist who practice Theravada buddhism. We often come up with the debate of Yonaka king Mirendo (Milinda) vs Arahanth Nagasena. The famous Milinda prashna...Almost it contains all types of philosophical-radical questions that could be asked by an intelligent person on buddhism.

Totally new concept to me, and totally fascinating. Had to watch right away. Glad I'm subscribed.

Thank you so much for making a video on this topic! I'm a practicing Buddhist, training to become a monk, and when I first found out about Grecco-Buddhism, I found myself enthralled by it. The most fascinating thing was that the very first images of the Buddha were carved by these artists. Amazing and inspiring stuff for a Buddhist from the 'West' seeing the original "Western" Buddhists. Goes to show the Universality of these ancient traditions.
