IMPACT OF ASOKA’S DHAMMA-POLICY ON MODERN SOCIETY

ABSTRACT

This research investigates the issues with the many scholarly interpretations of the term dhammakāya as it appears in early Buddhist scriptures. It notes that the conventional scholarly understanding of the Pali dhammakāya oversimplifies the canonical texts and makes use of partial information. There was no greater Mauriyan emperor than Asoka. Buddhism, art, and architecture all benefited greatly from his generosity. The renowned Mauryan emperor Asoka’s early life and career are the focus of this study. Asoka was one of many great emperors in Indian history whose names were immortalised in the annals of time. Some other well-known author also offered commentary on Asoka’s accomplishments. This study aims to assess Asoka’s early career and regional accomplishments. This study aims to provide light on Asoka’s Dhamma as well as his support for the arts and architecture of his day. This study also makes an effort to talk about how Asoka supported Buddhism.
