To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We read, indeed, much of the " law " which he preached, but he did not regard this as the law of God. What he called sin, as we shall see, was not conceived or represented as having anything to do with a God or our relation to Him. We read, no doubt, in the Buddhist books, much about the " gods, " but never once of God. As for these im- aginary beings which Buddhism calls gods, they are, for the most part, the old deities of the Hindoos, brought over into the Buddhist system, but lowered from t...he position that they held in the Hindoo system, to be the inferiors of the Buddha. None of them are held in Buddhism to be, either singly or jointly, the creators or the rulers of the world. They are only finite beings of a higher order than man, but all of them, like man, subject to impermanence and death, as also to sin and moral infirmity. Of any being, corresponding even in the most general way to the ordinary theistic con- ception of God, Buddhism, we repeat, knows nothing. 1 Manual of Buddhism, 2d ed.
