ဘာသာ အယူအဆ မတူသူမ်ားအေပၚ ဗုဒၶ၀ါဒနဲ႔ပတ္သက္ၿပီး၊ ဘီစီ ၂၆၈ မွာ သာသနာျပဳမင္း အိႏၵိယျပည့္ရွင္ အာေသာက က သူ႔ေက်ာက္စာထဲတြင္ ေအာက္ပါအတိုင္း ေရးထားသည္။
"အျခားဘာသာမ်ားအေပၚ ေ၀ဖန္ရွႈတ္ခ်ၿပီး မိမိဘာသာကိုသာ ခ်ီးမြမ္းမေနသင္႔။ မိမိဘာသာ သာသနာကို တိုးတက္ႀကီးပြားေအာင္ လုပ္ရင္းပင္၊ အျခားဘာသာ အယူ၀ါဒမ်ားကိုလည္း အားေပးခ်ီးေျမွာက္မွႈ ျပဳၾကရမည္။ ဤသို႔မလုပ္ေဆာင္လွ်င္၊ အျခားဘာသာ အယူ၀ါဒမ်ားအတြက္ ေဘးအႏၱရာယ္ျဖစ္ေစသလို၊ မိမိဘာသာကိုလည္း ေျမျမွဳပ္သၿဂိဳၤဟ္ျပီးသား ျဖစ္သြားလိမ္႔မည္...."
Respect other religions
“One should not honour only one's own religion and condemn the religions of others, but one should honour others' religions for this or that reason. So doing, one helps one's own religion to grow and renders service to the religions of others too. In acting otherwise one digs the grave of one's own religion and also does harm to other religions. Whosoever honours his own religion and condemns other religions, does so indeed through devotion to his own religion, thinking "I will glorify my own religion". But on the contrary, in so doing he injures his own religion more gravely. So concord is good: Let all listen, and be willing to listen to the doctrines professed by others.”
(Emperor Asoka)
