To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Then comes a rather lengthy pause. At midnight the ceremony of consecration begins. The candidates who, either by vo- cation or by sudden impulse, have chosen this career, have to live two or three years in one of the monasteries, and after this, before being qualified to exercise the func- tion of minister, must submit themselves to a somewhat painful formality.
The great hall of Buddha is brilliantly lighted up. On tables placed side by side are set out the images of the different Bud- dhist ...apostles, and all kinds of religious emblems. Before each of these statues there is placed a kind of prie-dieu stool, to which the name of one of the candidates is attached, and it is on this stool that, after 72 CHIN-CHIN a long hour of meditation, the candidate kneels down. His head is shaven com- pletely bald, and on the naked skin are placed three pieces of tinder soaked in incense, to which the chief sets light. The candidate continues praying quietly whilst the conical-shaped tinder candles on his head burn out, burning away the skin of his head withal.
