To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They carry with them nothing but the iron begging-bowl, a bag containing a few necessaries, and a large umbrella. In the heat of the day we may often see their white umbrellas dotted over the fields, and converted into little tents by strips of linen hung all round.
The monks are subject only to the superiors of their own order, and they have a complete system of government analogous to that of the temporal power. The chief dignitaries of the order are appointed by the King, who is thus the tem...poral head of the religion. These dignitaries receive official titles and may properly be spoken of as "priests, " a term which is incorrectly applied to the mass of those living in the wats.
Any grave offence is punished by instant expul- sion, and the offender then comes under the civil law, which treats him with extreme severity. Lesser breaches of the rules are atoned for by the per- formance of small penances, such as sweeping round the Bo tree or drawing water. Confession is some- times practised.
