Question

following the principles of dhamma. Do you
think this impacted the spread of Buddhism?
Give reasons for your answer.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ashoka's patronage of Buddhism gave it more respect, and in his empire Buddhism spread. More people became vegetarian, and perhaps there was some increase in compassion toward others. He was not championing the cause of a jealous god and was able to plead for tolerance toward Hindus and Jains.
