What reading level is Buddhist Popular Lectures Delivered in Ceylon in 1907 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The third Precept is the promise to lead a pure and chaste life, the avoidance of all sexual wrong-doing. After the crimes that grow' out of drinking perhaps the cause, the great cause, of crime is wrong sexual indulgence; and the Lord Buddha in this Precept tried to guard His followers against all the misery and the karma that grow out of wrong actions in connexion with sex. Most respectable people, the respectable man and the respectable woman, may not fall into very gross breaches perhaps of... this Precept, but there is much, very much evil talked about these matters, that grips the mind and so gets it ready for evil action. There is a great deal of coarse and idle gossip which makes people familiar with the idea of wrong sexual action, and so prepares the way for it. If you want to keep the law of the Buddha, you must guard your mind and your tongue as well as your actions. Let a man's mind be pure, for the man of pure thoughts, of pure words, will never fall into impure action. When you never think an impure thought, when you never speak an impure word, then, and then only, are you keeping the promise to abstain from wrong sexual action.
