Question 10

What is meant by Ashoka's Dhamma?

Answer

Ashoka's Dhamma was a 'Common Code of Conduct' or a 'Moral Law' or an 'Ethical Order' that was based on the unifying principles of all major religions of the world. It was not a religion or religious system. He wanted his subjects to follow this Dhamma instead of imposing any religion on them.
