Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
Ashoka advanced his doctrine of dhamma to instruct his subjects on the correct way of living - a life filled with compassion. Ashoka took several measures to spread dhamma. Ashoka appointed the dhamma mahamatta (officials) who went from place to place, teaching people about dhamma. Ashoka got his ideas inscribed on rocks and pillars, and his officials read his messages to those who could not read them. Ashoka also sent messengers overseas to spread dhamma to foreign lands, such as Syria, Egypt, Greece, and Sri Lanka. Ashoka's workers built roads, wells, and rest houses. The state provided medical treatment for both human beings and animals.
