ABSTRACT

In our time of the globalized world everything is transmitted immediately in an information high way of digital networks. Within this ‘main stream’ – involved also by tempo up modus – humans can forget something relevant: What must be transmitted only immediately and what is not? It includes also the further question: Is this tempo up and acceleration a main purpose of thinking and acting of human per se? Running in a high speed sometimes also to a disqualified goal, humans have to reflect the contents of their thinking and acting. Depending on IT media instruments humans are often isolated from their real environment. Struggling in a survival game in a life world, many humans forget the significance of “transmission” and “intra-relation”. This article shows the relevance of the ‘mutual transmission’ in the Logics of Huayen- and Zen Buddhism which can be reflected carefully as a critical stimulation just in the above mentioned phenomena in our the globalized world.
