What reading level is Buddhist Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
of life, can be given, any more than there can be given an object of endlessness. To ponder over the aim of life is as fruitless as to ponder over its beginning as an absolute event. The Buddha never said a word about the aim of life. Life as a whole is always taken as a given fact. Lobha, Dosa, Moha (Lust, Hate, Illusion), that is, will — that is, sorrow — these are present, and nothing beside. Deliverance from them is quite naturally not the aim, but the problem of life, as the removal of pai...n is the problem of those in torment. Deliverance is an object only as regards asceticism. The end and aim of monkhood is deliverance, as it is the aim of a medicament to relieve pain. To inquire concerning the aim of life is only a disguised fashion of asking about the absolute beginning, about God. Only where there is God is there an aim to life. Avijja as re- presentative of the empty endlessness of life has no object. Inclusively in one thought I cognise myself as the central pivot of the world, as that 272 BUDDHIST ESSAYS xvi upon which the world rests, and also as something objectless, something that were better not to be, as illusion.
