What reading level is Studies in Japanese Buddhism book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The mission landed from a Portuguese ship in the southern island of Kyushu. The missionaries were well received, for in their train came the merchants and traders with guns and other implements of war so much appreciated by a warlike age. We are told that even the Buddhist priests received these Christian missionaries in a friendly spirit, for they regarded their religion as simply one more form of the comprehensive Mahayana teaching. And besides, they were not half so much concerned with rival...s in things spiritual as in worldly power and prestige. It goes without saying that the Catholics were not willing to com- promise with the Buddhists, though they did not take an openly hostile attitude until they had first ingratiated them- selves with certain political factions to whom they looked for patronage and protection.
We find thus the missionary Froez, in the year 1568, seek- ing an interview with the great Nobunaga, At this con- ference, apparently, an understanding was reached by which the Catholics were to be utilized for fighting and crushing the Buddhist monasteries, which had incurred Nobunaga's enmity.
