What reading level is Asoka book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The ease with which the historical events in the life of Gautama, the recorded facts that are inherently credible and consistent with our knowledge of the times and of the land in which he lived, can be distinguished from the myths and legends favours the belief that Gautama was a real person.
It would be beyond our province to trace the subsequent history of Buddhism, but it is desirable that we should have some idea of the main elements in the system of which Asoka became so earnest and succe...ssful an exponent. What does Asoka really mean when he declares his devotion to the Law of Piety ?
The two cardinal doctrines of Buddhism, as preached by Gautama and accepted by Asoka, are Karma and Nirvana. Karma is the attempt to solve the problem which has puzzled so many thoughtful minds ever since men began to reflect on the facts of human life, the problem of suffering, the in- equalities of our human lot, the prosperity of the wicked, the sorrows of the righteous, both alike unmerited and unjust.
