 The only likely mention of Buddhism only appears with the word "Sramanas" ("ascetics"), who are always mentioned next to "Brahmanas", in what appears as a rather neutral enumeration of the major religious actors of the period.In the 12th Major Rock Edict, Ashoka also claims to be honouring all sects.In Major Rock Edict No.8 though, Ashoka unambiguously describes his pilgrimage to Sambodhi ( "Saṃ"+"bodhi", “Complete Enlightenment”), another name of Bodh Gaya, the location of the Buddha's awakening.
