	Ashoka - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As every father desires the good and the happiness of his children, I wish that all men should be happy always." Edward D'Cruz interprets the Ashokan dharma as a "religion to be used as a symbol of a new imperial unity and a cementing force to weld the diverse and heterogeneous elements of the empire".
		It is very surprising that not a single archaeological relic of Ashoka has been unearthed at Patna, said to be his capital.
		The only source of information not attributable to Buddhist sources – the Ashokan edicts – make only a few references to Buddhism directly, despite many references to the concept of dhamma (Sanskrit: dharma).

		The Thais themselves frequently call their religion Lankavamsa (Sinhalese lineage) Buddhism because Thailand originally received Buddhism from Sri Lanka during the Sukhothai period.

		Another strong argument in favor of an Ashokan origin for Brâhmî is the formal one adduced by Goyal and others and endorsed by Falk (pp.164--5), which proposes that the simple and symmetrical geometric forms which predominate in early Brâhmî (e.g.
