Except it's the other way around. Ashoka gave up conquering after he converted to Buddhism.

Atheists hate this one simple trick (converting monarchs and emperors to your faith).

Yes, because the brutal warlord suddenly became repulsed by violence and never again resorted to violence….

(There are those 18,000 monks mentioned, and I find it dubious there wasn’t internal discord, considering.)

I've read some Buddhist literature, including a lot of tales about the Buddha, and the monks were arguing all the time. There's a handful of stories where the Buddha goes at them because of how much they're always arguing.

I misread as "there wasn't some internal Discord" and thought you were about to say something about leaked DMs. I need to wake up.
