In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore one of the most surprising moments in Ashoka the Great's reign: the Schism Edict. After the Third Buddhist Council at Pataliputra around 250 BCE, Ashoka faced a crisis of dissent within the monastic community. His response was not gentle persuasion but a stern edict threatening expulsion for those who split the sangha. We examine how this edict, found on pillars at Sarnath and elsewhere, reveals a different side of the Dhamma emperor — one willing to use state power to enforce religious orthodoxy. We also discuss the council itself, convened under Moggaliputta Tissa to settle doctrinal disputes and compile the Pali canon, and how Ashoka's patronage both strengthened and complicated Buddhism. The episode touches on the significance of the Schism Edict as a window into early Buddhist politics, the limits of Ashoka's tolerance, and the debate among scholars about how far his Dhamma truly promoted freedom of belief. #Ashoka #MauryaEmpire #SchismEdict #ThirdBuddhistCouncil #Pataliputra #MoggaliputtaTissa #BuddhistSangha #PaliCanon #Sarnath #PillarEdicts #BrahmiScript #Dhamma #Buddhism #AncientIndia #History #FexingoHistory #ReligionAndEmpire #EdictsOfAshoka Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
