Absolute truth Quote by Dalai Lama

“Of course, there are different truths on different levels. Things…” quote by Dalai Lama — Download Open image

“Of course, there are different truths on different levels. Things are true relative to other things; "long" and "short" relate to each other, "high" and "low," and so on. But is there any absolute truth? Something self-sufficient, independently true in itself? I don't think so.”
