During the period of emperor Ashoka (third to second century BCE), Buddhists placed more emphasis on faith, as Ashoka helped develop Buddhism as a popular religion to unify his empire.
Pada periode kaisar Ashoka (abad ketiga sampai kedua SM), umat Buddha makin menyoroti keyakinan, karena Ashoka membantu mengembangkan Buddha sebagai agama populer untuk menyatukan kekaisarannya.
