What reading level is The Flame Gatherers book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This over, the second meal was served, and after it came relaxation, the novices being allowed to watch the distribution of the remains of the meal among the poor of the village who, at this hour, came crowding to the Vihara gates. This was the one period of unrestrained liberty in the day ; and novices were permitted to indulge themselves in games and amusements forbidden to the doubly ordained.
By three o'clock this was over ; and the two following hours were spent in the library, in the peru...sal of sacred manuscripts, of which the Vihara of Truth owned a large number. Of all the day's occupations this was, 248 THE FLAME-GATHERERS to Oman, the most deeply engrossing. He had a great advantage over most of his companions, in being able to read easily both in Sanscrit and the older Pali ; for the scholarship of his youth had not left him. The work- ing day was ended by the most difficult task of all : three hours of silent meditation on some tenet announced at the time. At first, to those unaccus- tomed to it, these three hours seemed as long as the eight months of the Sugata's retirement ; and the novices whispered, and yawned, and eyed each other, and let their minds wander, till the length of their penances became startling.
