The Ashoka, the Mauryan emperor, played a crucial role in spreading Buddhism during the 3rd century BCE. After his conversion to Buddhism, he actively promoted the faith through the construction of stupas, monasteries, and pillars inscribed with edicts that outlined Buddhist teachings. He sent missionaries to various regions, including Sri Lanka and Central Asia, to disseminate Buddhist principles. Ashoka's efforts significantly contributed to the establishment of Buddhism as a major religion across Asia.
