What reading level is Outlines of the Mahyna As Taught By Buddha book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To be free from all pains of restraint and to reach the state of the perfect and everlasting happiness ; this is the highest Nirvaz/a. For then all mental phenomena, such as blind desires, etc. , are annihilated. And as such mental phenomena are annihilated, there appears true nature of mind with all its innumerable functions and miraculous actions. Nirva/za, therefore, is by no means a state of mere extinction. Nor is Moksha necessarily very far off. It is said in the Sutras that a ])odhisattv...a sees Moksha in the unenlightened mind of living beings; again it is stated in the *'Abhidharma" that Moksha is open to all, to clergy and laity, to high and low, to great and humble. In the Ilinayana, mind and body are considered as the sources of pain, and, consequently, Moksha is equivalent to the leav- ing of the six states of life, (deva, man, asura, beast, hungry ghost, and hell) giving up mind and bod}', and Nirva/za is to attain to the eternal extinction of them. This view comes from the doctrine called ''seeking extinction, " and is only a partial exposition of Buddhism.
