What reading level is The Sacred Tree book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
^ A. Cunningham, 0/'. Cit. P. 114.
II THE GOD AND THE TREE 43 is there any representation of Buddha, the sole objects of reverence being stupas (representations of the tombs of holy men), wheels, or trees. At a later date the tree appears to have lost its organic con- nection with the venerated personage, and to have preserved only a ceremonial and symbolic significance, for the Bo-tree, under which truth gradually unfolded itself to the meditating Gautama, is regarded as sacred by Buddhists in... much the same way as the cross is by Christians, There can be no doubt, however, that in the earliest forms of worship current in India, the alliance between the plant world and the divine essence was extremely intimate. The great creative god Brahma, who, by the light of his countenance, dispelled the primeval gloom, and by his divine infiuence evoked the earth from the primeval ocean, is represented in Hindu theology as having emanated from a golden lotus which had been quickened into life when the spirit of Om moved over the face of the waters.
