What reading level is Chinese Buddhism book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They disappear altogether when an escape from it is effected, by admission into the higher region of pure enlightenment. Virtue and vice, life and death, happiness and misery, the antithetical states originated in the world of delusions to which we belong, are all con- demned together as constituting a lower state of existence. All beings should strive to be freed from them, and to rise by Buddha's teaching to that perfection where every such diversity, moral or physical, will be lost in unity.... The Nirvana does not admit any such distinctions as those just mentioned. It is absolute and pure illumination, without anything definite attached to it, whether good or evil, pain or pleasure. Thus there is no place for ethics, except in the lower modes of life. It is common for intelligent priests in China of the con- templative school to defend their system of idolatry by saying that they do not worship images themselves. They are intended fur the ignorant who cannot comprehend the deeper principles of their religion.
