Question

what did ashoka promote

Answer 1

No king in history had done this kind of work. Similarly, forgetting his affection to his daughter as a father, he sent Sanghamitra to Ceylon to spend her life in that island to convert its population to Buddhism.

Asoka’s great attempt to spread it outside resulted in the benefit of the humanity at large. He opened the doors of other countries not only to a mighty religion, but also to a tremendous force of civilisation. Within a few centuries of Asoka’s time, Buddhism was seen as the religion of the teeming humanity of Tibet, China, Japan, the entire South-East Asia, and Ceylon..
