What reading level is The Open Court 46, No.910 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To every culture Buddhism added the spiritual tone inherent in its own world-view and moral ideal. It was never intolerant and aggressive in its approach to existing customs. An easier and more successful way was to superimpose Buddhist ideals oi be- havior upon the approved indigenous code. The result was a hu- manizing and softening of human relations, because Buddhism con- tinuously stressed the necessity of curbing passionate impulses, the repression of appetites, non-injury, sympathy, pati...ence, pacifism, self-mastery and self-control even to the borderland of asceticism.
Centuries of this intangible influence have been efifective in produc- ing a quality of life, a gentleness of manners, in all Eastern lands ranging from sensitive courtesy, through patient resignation, to quietistic self-efiacement. Tibet is an illustration of the process.
Buddhist Tibet, with all its harshness, seems mild and attrac- tive on the background of the Tibet of ancient times with its war- fare, savage customs, fierce cruelty and the weird, terrifying magic of Pon religion.
