प्रश्न
What were the means adopted by Ashoka to spread the message of dhamma?
उत्तर
Ashoka appointed officials (called ‘dhamma mahamatta’) to go from place to place and tell people about ‘dhamma’. Ashoka got his messages inscribed on rocks and pillars too, in a language called Prakrit which was comprehensible to all. Messengers were also sent to other parts of the world.
