After the Kalinga war, Ashoka embraced Buddhism and followed his Dhamma. Dhamma is the Prakrit word for the sanskrit term 'Dharma' which means religious duty. It did not involve worship of god or performance of sacrifices. Rather it was a code of conduct and morals to be followed. It was inspired by the teachings of Buddha and through his dhamma, he wanted to instil a spirit of tolerance, co-existence, non-violence and respect for the elders in the people. He asked his people to speak the truth and respect the elders, follow te path of ahimsa and live together peacefully.
