Some sects of Buddhism (as well as sects of other faiths - I've heard people use the term in the context of Hinduism, Islam, and Christianity) believe that spiritual knowledge can be transferred directly from teacher to student, either as an act of conscious choice or through exposure to the teacher's presence. This is transmission. generally it applies to sects which are organized around a particular teacher or lineage, in which case the spiritual knowledge is transmitted from the leader to immediate disciples, and then from those disciples to their disciples when they become leaders in their own right.
