Name four important ways in which Buddhism spread under the royal patronage during the Mauryan times.

Total History and Civics - IX

The Mauryan Empire

Dear student, Four important ways are - 1) Ashoka gave responsibility to his son and daughter for spreading Buddhism in Sri Lanka. 2) Ashoka respected other religions as well because of which people started believing more in Buddhism. 3) Ashoka gave up tours of pleasure and went on dharma yatras to preach Buddhism. 4) He obtained the relics of the Buddha from the earlier stupas and redistributed them at various other places by building several new stupas. Hope it helps. Regards
