The original purpose of Buddhist scriptures is to help people rediscover their true nature of "clarity and freedom," and they are not only meant for sages to read.

It is true that some modern people hesitate or even avoid reading Buddhist scriptures or practicing Buddhism due to feelings of inferiority or arrogance (self-comparison), but this is not an absolute "fear". From the perspectives of Buddhism and psychology, this is a complex psychological struggle. From the perspectives of Buddhism and psychology, this is a complex psychological dilemma.

The following is a related analysis:

1. Obstacles arising from inferiority complex and comparison.

Inferiority complex is also a kind of "arrogance": Buddhist perspectives (such as Yogacara) point out that there are seven kinds of arrogance, one of which is "arrogance of inferiority". That is, although one feels inferior to others, one still compares and denies one's own value in one's heart, which leads to a frustrated mentality and an unwillingness to delve into Buddhism, and even a sense of rejection of "I can't do it" towards practice.

The opposite of dissatisfaction: Inferiority complex about one's own situation or anxiety about the future often leads to negative self-talk (such as "I'm not good enough," "I can't do it"), causing avoidance or feelings of unworthiness when faced with Buddhist scriptures that demand "supreme enlightenment."

2. Psychological Stress and Misunderstandings of Modern People.

Misunderstandings about Buddhist Scriptures: Some people believe that reading scriptures requires purity and great wisdom, which can make modern people, burdened by worries and chaotic lives, feel ashamed.

Seeking Instant Feedback: The fast pace of modern life and Buddhism's emphasis on inner transformation cannot immediately satisfy material needs. This can easily lead those lacking confidence to feel that "spiritual practice is useless," and thus give up.

3. How to deal with this mindset.

The Dharma emphasizes equality: The original intention of Buddhist scriptures is to eliminate inferiority and arrogance, and to help people rediscover their "clear and free" true nature. They are not only meant for saints to read.

Accept yourself: Accept your imperfections and transform feelings of inferiority into motivation to "surpass yourself," rather than dwelling on the fear of self-denial.

In summary, a common psychological barrier for modern people is their reluctance to engage with Buddhist scriptures due to feelings of inferiority, reflecting a doubt in their self-worth. If one can understand that Buddhism is "medicine" rather than "authority," this obstacle can be overcome.

The original text is as follows:

現代人確實存在因「自卑感」或「我慢（自我比較）」而對閱讀佛經或修行產生猶豫甚至迴避的現象，但這並非絕對的「不敢」。從佛學和心理學角度來看，這是一種複雜的心理糾結。

以下是相關分析：

1. 自卑與比較心產生的障礙

自卑也是一種「慢」： 佛學觀點（如唯識學）指出，我慢有七種，其中一種是「卑慢」，即雖然自覺不如人，但因心中仍有比較、否定自己的價值，導致心態受挫而不願深入佛法，甚至對修行產生「我做不到」的排斥感。

不甘心的反面： 對自身境遇的自卑或對未來焦慮，常讓人產生負面自我對話（如「我不夠好」、「我做不到」），導致在面對要求「無上正等正覺」的佛經時，產生逃避或認為自己不配的心理。

2. 現代人的心理壓力與誤解

對佛經的誤解： 有些人認為讀經要清淨、要很有智慧，而自覺煩惱重重、生活混亂的現代人會因此自慚形穢。

追求即時回饋： 現代生活快節奏，佛法強調內在轉化，無法即時滿足物質需求，這容易讓缺乏自信者覺得「修行無用」，進而放棄。

3. 如何面對這種心態

佛法平等： 佛經本意是為了消除自卑與傲慢，讓人找回「清楚、自在」的自性，並非只有聖人能讀。

接納自己： 應接納自己的不完美，將自卑轉化為「超越自己」的動力，而不是停留在自我否定的恐懼中。

總結來說，現代人因自卑感而對佛經「卻步」是常見的心理障礙，這反映了對自我價值的懷疑。若能理解佛法是「藥」而非「權威」，這種障礙是可以克服的。
