Dear Bhikkhu Pesala
On what

More than a Council were summoned out to adjust such
inequalities and differences on Canon texts. The Milinda Pañha has
some lacks of consistency on doctrine ( and many right stands too!),
besides the FACT that it is a Paraphrasis of one of Upanishads.
I don´t know the Sixth Myanmar Council decision and other ones
about these matter, but sounds strange for my understanding to put
The Milinda Pañha with some of its weak arguments among other
classical canon texts. If 3,000 elders could raise up the Mahavamsa
or the ancient Burma Chronicles to canon pali text shelf I could
thought it strange too!
