Asoka, the third emperor of the Maurya Dynasty in India, played a crucial role in spreading Buddhism across Asia through his strong advocacy and support for the religion. After his conversion to Buddhism following the Kalinga War, he established a series of edicts promoting moral and ethical conduct based on Buddhist principles. Asoka sent missionaries, including his own son Mahinda, to various regions such as Sri Lanka and Central Asia, facilitating the establishment of Buddhist communities and monasteries. His efforts significantly contributed to the growth and spread of Buddhism beyond India, influencing cultures throughout Asia.
