Which of the following are the distinguishable features of the Buddhist concept of communication?
The Buddhist concept of communication is process oriented, focused on the creation of meaning and behaviour centered, so statements 2, 4 and 5 hold.
Statement 2 is right because Buddhist communication is seen as an ongoing process rather than a one shot delivery.
Statement 4 is right because it stresses the mutual generation of meaning between participants rather than mere transfer.
Statement 5 is right because it grounds communication in conduct and its effect on right action and understanding.
Calling it unidirectional in statement 1 contradicts its emphasis on mutuality and shared meaning making.
Calling it competitive in statement 3 clashes with the Buddhist stress on harmony and cooperation over rivalry.
This view aligns communication with mindfulness and right speech, one strand of the Eightfold Path.
