The most accurate spread of Buddhism occurred during the reign of Emperor Ashoka in the 3rd century BCE, when he actively promoted the religion across the Indian subcontinent and sent missionaries to regions such as Central Asia, Southeast Asia, and beyond. This expansion was further facilitated by trade routes, including the Silk Road, which allowed for cultural exchange and the dissemination of Buddhist texts and practices. Over the centuries, various schools of Buddhism, such as Theravada and Mahayana, emerged, adapting to local cultures and contributing to its global presence. Today, Buddhism is practiced widely in Asia and has gained followers around the world.
