	Tibetan News Update
		Born only 30 years after Alexander embarked on his improbably successful invasion of Asia, Ashoka was not only the first great ruler to reject the glory of violent conquest, but also the first to apply the teachings of the Buddha to politics and governance.
		Ashoka came to the Buddha's teachings gradually, over two and half years, as he said in one of his inscriptions, and then he applied them selectively.
		While Ashoka's dharma had much in common with the virtuous conduct that the Buddha preached, it was mostly his own invention -- a way of requiring the state to incarnate a higher morality that would appeal equally to, and thus unite, the multi-religious, multicultural subjects of his vast empire.
