I've been reading scriptures recently, and the more I read, the more confused I became.

The scriptures were an important part of Buddhist culture, including Buddhist doctrines, philosophy, historical background, cultivation methods, and many other aspects. Reading scriptures was a way of cultivation that could help people understand Buddhist teachings and improve their inner state. However, there was a certain risk in reading the scriptures. Some people might misunderstand or have adverse reactions during the reading process because they did not understand the meaning of the scriptures. Therefore, when reading the scriptures, one had to be careful to respect the Buddhist teachings and avoid arbitrarily explaining or distorting them according to one's own understanding. If you encounter difficulties or doubts in the process of reading the scriptures, you can seek help or guidance from Buddhist believers or experienced people. This could help him better understand the meaning of the scriptures and avoid misunderstandings or adverse reactions.
