Absolute Truth (From a Buddhist Perspective)

In this podcast, Bhante Sathi explores the Buddhist concept of truth, distinguishing between conventional truth, which depends on conditions and shared experiences, and absolute truth, which reflects the impermanent and non-self nature of reality. He explains how attachment to personal perspectives causes suffering and conflict, and how meditation helps us directly perceive the impermanent, conditioned nature of existence. Ultimately, understanding absolute truth allows one to live compassionately and peacefully within conventional life without being controlled by it.
