What reading level is The Essence of Buddhism book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To a thoughtful reader of the Glta its underlying motive is obvious. The Buddhists reject absolutely the authority of the Vedas and the system of castes. But it is impossible for the Br&h- mans to let go the authority of the Vedas or to give up their hierarchical system. They could, however, combine their own doctrines with the prevailing popular beliefs and supply a new basis for their hierarchy. This is just what has been done in the Glta. The Glta does not reject the Vedas absolutely, but sh...elves them. "To an enlightened man, " the Gita says, "there is as much use in all the Vedas as there is in a reservoir for one who is surrounded by water on all sides. " Again instead of asserting that a Sudra must become a Br, h- man by going through a number of births and then attain salvation, the Gita says that " man attains salvation, devoted each to his own duty. " It tries to place caste on a more tenable basis by saying that the duties of BrUhmans, Kshat- riyas, Vaisyas and Sudras are divided according to the quali- ties of their nature.
