Elsewhere the Buddha unequivocally uses the word Truth in the place of Nibbana [Nirvana]: 'I will teach you the Truth and the Path leading to the Truth.' Here Truth definitely means Nirvana.
Now, what is Absolute Truth? According to Buddhism, the Absolute Truth is that there is nothing absolute in the world, that everything is relative, conditioned and impermanent, and that there is no unchanging, everlasting, absolute substance like Self, Soul, or Atman within or without. This is the Absolute Truth.
