What reading level is The Pagoda book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It makes very lit- tle difference whether the ancestors are far removed in point of time or but recently de- parted, the honor paid to them is a part of the religion of China and even if the Pagoda orig- inated in this idea alone it would come under the general heading of a religious temple.
Still more conclusive arguments of the relig- ious origin of the Pagoda are available. When in the year 65 A. D. At the express invitation of the Emperor Ming-Ti, the Hindoo Bonzes introduced Buddhism into ...the Celestial Empire, it was but natural that with the leligion they should bring its outward forms and expres- sions and among these outward forms, the Hindoo "Gopura" or tower-temple was not the least. There is, it is true, an architectural dif- ference between the "Gopura" and the "Pa- goda, " but the difference seems to consist chiefly 1 6 The Pagoda in this, that the latter is an exaggerated embel- lishment of the former. The Buddhist origin of the Pagoda is beyond all question an estab- lished fact.
