Question

define dhamma how did dhamma guide its followers?

Answer 1

Dhamma is a set of edicts that formed a policy of the Mauryan emperor Ashoka Maurya (Devanāgarī: अशोक, IAST: Aśoka), who succeeded to the Mauryan throne in modern-day India around 269 B.C.[1] Many historians[which?] consider him one of the greatest kings of ancient India for his policies of public welfare.

The best way to understand what Ashoka means by Dhamma is to read his edicts, which were written to explain the principles of Dhamma to the people of that time throughout the empire. ... Bhandarkarclaims that Ashoka was a Buddhist and his policy of dhamma was actually original Buddhism as preached by the Budhha.
