Okay kiddo, you know how people have different beliefs and ways of living, right? Well, there are some places in the world where some people don't like or agree with Buddhism, which is a peaceful religion that teaches about being kind to others and seeking inner peace.
Some people who don't agree with Buddhism might do mean things to Buddhists, like hurting them or treating them unfairly. This is called persecution, and it can be really scary and sad for the people being persecuted.
It's important to remember that just because someone has different beliefs or practices a different religion, it doesn't mean they should be treated badly. We should always try to be kind to others, no matter what.
