Ashoka the Great, was an Indian emperor of the Maurya Dynasty, who ruled almost all of the Indian subcontinent from c. 268 to 232 BCE. Ashoka promoted the spread of Buddhism across ancient Asia. We Sri Lanka received Great Nobel truths from his son Arahath Mahinda Thero. 

Edict 13 on the Edicts of Ashoka Rock Inscriptions says; 

"His Majesty felt remorse on account of the conquest of Kalinga because, during the subjugation of a previously unconquered country, slaughter, death, and taking away captive of the people necessarily occur, whereas His Majesty feels profound sorrow and regret." 

After the Kalinga War and Ashoka’s conversion to Buddhism, the Empire experienced nearly half a century of peace and security. Mauryan India also enjoyed an era of social harmony, religious transformation, and expansion of the sciences and of knowledge.

Because of the noble truths of Buddhism; 

Will Sri Lanka become similar as post Kalinga war Ashoka's empire; as era of social harmony, religious transformation, and expansion of the sciences and of knowledge?

This is our hope His Excellency!
