Critical Buddhism
Okay kiddo, so there are some people who really like Buddhism but they also think that some parts of it could be better. They call their ideas "critical Buddhism".
Now, Buddhism is a system of beliefs and practices that help people understand and reduce suffering in their lives. Critical Buddhism is like when you want to make a cake but you think the recipe needs to be changed a little bit so it tastes better.
Some people who practice critical Buddhism think that there are parts of Buddhism that are too focused on rules and traditions. They think people should think for themselves more and not just follow what they're told to do.
Other people who practice critical Buddhism believe that certain parts of Buddhism ignore important issues like gender inequality, social justice, and environmental concerns. They believe Buddhism should pay more attention to these things and work to make the world a better place.
So, just like when you make a cake and you decide to add extra sugar or take out some ingredients, critical Buddhism is about making changes to the way people practice Buddhism so they can be happier and help other people more.
