What reading level is The Ruined Cities of Ceylon book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
About the year B. C. Go a question arose as to the authority of certain doctrines which one party wished to be included in the canon. The proposal was regarded as an innovation and strenuously opposed by the orthodox fraternity, with the result that those who adhered to the innovation formed them- selves into a rival body known as the Abhaya- giriya. Hence the great Brazen Palace, which had originally been the residence of the highest ascetics, was dependent for its preservation on the varying ...fortunes of its orthodox inhabitants. This division, which marred the unity of Bud- dhism in Ceylon for fourteen centuries, was perhaps at the height of its bitterness when Maha Sen came to the throne at the beginning of the third century. He adopted the heresy above referred to and pulled down the Brazen Palace in order to enrich the rival monastery with its treasures. This apostate king, however, ANURADHAPURA. 69 afterwards recanted, and in his penitence he restored the palace once more to its ancient splendour, and rebuilt all the other monasteries that he had destroyed.
