Relative truth

From LabelingThoughts

Jump to: navigation, search

Relative truth is a term used in contrast to absolute truth in discussing the two truths. This distinction is used in philosophic Buddhist study to contrast the "way things appear" versus the "way things truly are" or how they abide. When objects are said to be seen incorrectly — with a separate object and perceiver — it is the relative truth.
