What reading level is Buddhism : Its Historical, Theoretical And Popular Aspects : in Three Lectures book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Buddhism was then a system of exclusively moral as- ceticism, teaching certain commandments, rigorously enforcing an ascetic life of the strictest morality, temperance, and active, self-denying and self-sacrificing charity.
But soon after the beginning of our Christian era, when Buddhism had overcome its first difficulties and had leisure to enjoy the first taste of triumph, having spread from India to Ceylon, and northwards, through the Punjab, into Central Asia and across the Himalaya as far ...as China, — the energetic, practical asceticism of the Hinayana school was replaced by a new phase of doctrine.
Buddhism, a Theoretical System. So called the Mahayana system, or the School of the great con- veyance. The characteristics of this system are an excess of transcendental speculation, which soon drifted into listless quietism or abstract nihilism, and substituted fanciful degrees of contemplation and ecstatic meditation for plain practical morality.
It was the former School, the system of the small conveyance, that produced the men who actually resigned their all, and with irresistible energy and enthusiasm spread Buddhism far and wide all over Eastern Asia, the men, who for their faith in Buddha scaled the snowy mountains of the Himalaya and crossed the sandy deserts of Central Asia.
