The mission was to spread the Buddha's teachings (Dhamma) beyond India. \nOn a Poson Full Moon Day\, Mahinda arrived at Mihintale\, a rocky hill near Anuradhapura\, the capital of King Devanampiya Tissa. \nKing Devanampiya Tissa was hunting deer at Mihintale when he encountered Mahinda and his group of monks. \nMahinda tested the king's intelligence and readiness for the Dhamma by posing questions. Impressed by the king's wisdom\, Mahinda preached the Chulla-haththi-padopama Sutta. King Tissa and his entourage embraced Buddhism. \nAfter the king's conversion\, Buddhism spread rapidly across the island. Temples and monasteries were built\, including the first Mihintale monastery. \nBuddhism became the state religion\, shaping Sri Lanka's culture and values for over 2\,300 years.
