Some of the countries where Ashoka sent his officials to spread Dhamma are Sri Lanka, South East Asian countries like China, Egypt, Greece, etc.

EXPLANATION:

  • Ashoka was one of most powerful and greatest kings in the history of India, he belonged to the Mauryan empire. When he ascended the throne of Patliputra, he followed the expansionist policy in which he wanted more areas to be under his control.
  • For this he attacked Kalinga, but death and bloodshed that he witnessed in this war made him give up arms and to take refuge in principles of Dhamma.
  • Dhamma is a set of moral principles and beliefs that everyone should be treated with kindness, with respect, that one should not physically harm other beings, etc.
  • The principles of Dhamma is largely inspired by teachings of Buddha. Ashoka wanted people to follow this set of moral conduct and for this, he appointed officers to spread Dhamma to distant places like Egypt, Greece, etc.
