What reading level is The Layman Revato; a Story of a Restless Mind in Buddhist India At the Time of Greek Influence book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Blessed One himself had come to his death by an indigestible meal of bacon, and slaughter houses served by Candala outcastes were an ortho- dox institution in spite of Piyadassi's restrictions.
But Revato had no taste for the peacock nor for the dishes of antelope's flesh and portions of other creatures that had been alive. So he fared as best he might on herbs and cakes and tree dainties.
[6oJ THE LAYMAN REVATO humorously explaining to his host that he was an exploiter of fruit food only.
...His persistent refusals of the meat furnished ample subject of conversation throughout the meal.
Diomedes remarked that Pythagoras had forbidden beans as well as meat. Revato told how Buddho had permitted beans but had ruled out onions because they had caused a monk, after partaking of them, considerately to hold aloof from his brethren during the preaching of the Dhamma.
Never did Revato feel more at a disadvantage than in attempting to justify the distinction between killing to eat and eating that which has been killed.
