In this talk with Pannobhasa I asked him to comment on recent exciting discoveries about Greek Buddhist monks, shortly after the time of the Buddha. We comment on the below talk that Ajahn Sona gave for Ajahns Nisabho and Kovilo at the Clear Mountain Monastery in Seattle.
Ancient Greek Monks & the Writing of the Pali Canon | Ajahn Sona Q&A
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mCoDXm2Pvg
In this session, Ajahn Kovilo and Ajahn Nisabho speak with Ajahn Sona of Birken Forest Monastery and learn about his recent research into early Western Buddhist Monks. The discussion touches on such topics as the appearance of Ionian (Greek) monks in Pāli Commentaries, the Western connection with the Pāli Canon being written down, the early Greek influence on Buddhist Art (e.g. Gandharan sculptures), the relationship between Ancient Greek philosophy and Abhidhamma, and more.

David Reynolds, alias Paññobhāsa, and formerly known as Paññobhāsa Mahathera, is an American-born Theravada Buddhist philosopher and teacher. He has a degree in Biology and up until recently he was a monk with thirty years seniority in the ordained Sangha, with most of that time spent in the forests of Burma, and about half of it spent living and meditating alone in caves. After a few years at a monastery in the declining state of California he has migrated across the USA and has set himself up in a new, freer lay life in Greenville, South Carolina where he continues to write and teach. He has long been pretty well fed up with political correctness, and is moved to make a stand.
