<<Yes. The memes at the basic levels are transmitted directly, in general.
Some higher level entities are transmitted directly, such as an
algebraic formula learned in school. With others, transmission is not
obvious and may not actually occur. One's philosophy of life is a good
example.>>
Buddha realized that wisdom could not easily be transmitted directly and
developed a path for people to follow that would lead to the acquisition of
wisdom indirectly.
