What reading level is Other Sheep, a Missionary Companion to "twice-Born Men" book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Amarapura sect cover both shoulders under the yellow robe, are more pious, live purer lives, and go among the low-caste peoples — but with patronage. Both priest- hoods exercise a tyrannous power over the people and BUDDHA-LAND 235 claim a spiritual sovereignty. In all schools of Bud- dhist thought, sin is condemned only as an offence against one's neighbour; never as a barrier erected by the soul itself against the love of God.
" The legends about Buddha are just as grotesque as those abou...t Hindu gods. At his birth he is said to have asserted his supremacy over all gods; fresh from his mother's womb he walked seven steps towards north, south, east, and west, and proclaimed himself supreme.
But in truth Buddha was a man like other men; he never claimed divine origin, and never said that he was an incarnation of Siva, Vishnu, Brahma, or any other god. He was a good man who saw the sin and suffering of life with pain and sympathy, and he sought to save men from sin and suffering by teaching them to crush in their souls all desire for existence, good or bad, happy or miserable.
