When Wisdom Arises, Delusion Vanishes, Instantly

Описание: Wisdom Arises, Delusion Ceases, Yet Impermanence Endures: Nāgasena vs King Milinda – Episode 9

In the hushed stillness of a royal garden at dawn, King Milinda, once proud in his intellectual prowess, now sits with a quieter mind, his questions no longer weapons of doubt but gestures of genuine seeking. Across from him, Venerable Nāgasena, calm as a mountain lake, guides the king deeper into the heart of the Dhamma.

This 40-minute dramatization continues their profound encounter from the Milindapañha, focusing on one of Buddhism’s most luminous insights: When true wisdom arises, delusion vanishes, but impermanence (anicca) remains. And in seeing that all phenomena are not-self (anattā), the mind finds release, not through denial of the world, but through clear seeing.

✨ What you’ll witness:
• A pivotal exchange on how wisdom (paññā) dispels delusion (moha) without erasing the reality of change
• The king’s dawning realization that liberation lies not in escaping impermanence, but in no longer clinging to what is fleeting
• A nuanced exploration of anattā: not as nihilism, but as the key to freedom from suffering
• Continued visual storytelling steeped in serene Thai Buddhist aesthetics, monastic robes, graceful gestures, and temple courtyards that honor the contemplative spirit of the dialogue

📖 Rooted in the Milindapañha, this episode draws directly from the Theravāda tradition’s celebrated philosophical text, revered across Cambodia, Thailand, and Burma for its clarity and depth.

🙏 For those walking the path, whether just beginning or long practiced, this episode offers a mirror: Wisdom does not abolish the world; it reveals it as it truly is impermanent, unsatisfactory, and not-self. And in that seeing, peace arises.
