07 Kasmīra and Gandhāra
high-definition creative commons posters depicting Kasmīra and Gandhāra from The History of the Buddha’s Religion together with further information.
This document details the pivotal mission to Kasmīra and Gandhāra (modern-day Kashmir and Swat regions) led by the elder Majjhantika Mahāthera. It describes his dramatic subjugation of a fierce local nāga king, which cleared the way for peaceful teaching. His subsequent discourse on the Āsīvisūpama Sutta inspired mass conversions and thousands of monastic ordinations, securing Buddhism’s northern frontier.
