Buddhism came to Sri Lanka in 306 BCE when the missionary monk Arahat Mahinda was sent by the Indian Emperor Ashoka to convey the Buddha's message to his colleague the Sri Lankan king Devanampiya Tissa.
The monk on arriving in the capital city came upon the king hunting deer in the royal hunting preserve. Stopping the king in his tracks, the monk spoke to him about the Buddha's teachings - which among other concepts preaches the sanctity of all living beings. He also informed the king that all mammals, birds and other creatures should enjoy the same right as his people to live in the land.
