What reading level is Lectures On the Origin And Growth of Religion As Illustrated By Some Points in the History of Indian Buddhism book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Sin is folly. It is delusion that leads to crime. Men used to slay their children, and children their parents. They have grown out of that, and require no special, no extraordinary personal wisdom to abstain from murder and theft. A man ignorant compared with his fellows may practise the Silas. But to make any advance beyond the average standpoint, INDIVIDUALITY. 209 he must get rid of delusions ; he must see things as they are, in a way that ordinary people do not; he must grasp ideas beyond t...he grasp of the average mind.
The fool, the dull man, can never be an Arahat. Does this sound very materialistic, very hard? There is many a man, foolish and dull enough in the world's estimation, who gains but little money, and who earns but little social success, whose eyes are nevertheless open to things beyond the ken of the man successful in the world through a hardness of mind that is incom- patible with the humility of faith. The dullness which prevents the attainment of Arahatship is not what the world calls dullness ; and it often blinds the eyes of the cleverest, the most successful among men.
