The Theragatha is one of the most striking texts in the Pali Canon. It is a collection of 264 poems or verses - some short, some long - by monks who, traditionally, lived at the time of the Buddha, and which expressed their experience of insight, the culmination of their spiritual path.
In fact, it is generally recognised now that this collection was added to over the years, so that some of the verses date from a later time. But this does not diminish...

In this, the final volume in Dharma Audiobooks' compilation of the Principal Texts of the Khuddaka Nikaya, the major work, and in some ways the most unusual, is Milinda's Questions. For while the other two, the Buddhava?sa and the Cariyapitaka, may date from the early years of Buddhism, there is no doubt that Milinda's Questions comes from a later period.
Modern scholars place it between 100 BCE and 200 CE – with sections being added as the years...
