Ashoka embraced Buddhism after experiencing a profound transformation following the brutal Kalinga War, which caused significant suffering and loss of life. Deeply affected by the violence and remorse for the consequences of his conquests, he sought a more compassionate and ethical path. Buddhism's teachings on non-violence, compassion, and the pursuit of inner peace resonated with him, leading him to adopt and promote the religion throughout his empire. His conversion also marked a significant shift in governance, focusing on moral and humane leadership.
Upa Gupta was the monk who influenced Ashoka to embrace Buddhism.
