Question
In my speech class I am doing a communication project on Buddhists. I've been reading up on Buddhism and have learned a lot about it, but I cannot answer one of the questions for my report. I need to think of two communication behaviors that Buddhist people have. Can you help me?

Answer
Hi Kylie
Interesting question.

A short and timely answer as I am travelling, and I suspect you
might need something sooner than later. But feel free to send a follow-up.

1st - Openness and responsiveness. That is being completely open to all
types of communication and responding naturally.
2nd - Authentic - links in to the first - but being completely
authentic and honest in our communications. That is the true friend
in Buddhism
