Can Truth (Absolute Truth) be taught?

I believe the abosulte truth can and is being taught. It's called Buddhism, to me Buddhism

is ultimate truth

Outside of mathematics there is no absolute truth.

In the real world the term truth has different meanings. This often leads to confusion when people talking about truth mean different things.

There are always four sides to a story:

1) Their side.

2) Your side.

3) The truth

4) and what really happened.

The truth is what stays in our common memory.

Often the truth is what the news papers write. In stories about conflicts the truth is usually the tale the winner tells.

I don't know what you mean. After-all, a wave is not seperate from an ocean nor its power and force that the wind or other force evokes in it. An ocean is not seperate from

nothing either. It is the same as when you step out of nothing just to step into nothing. Just stand up and take a step forward and look behind you to see what is taking up the space you left behind. Also take a look at the space in front of you and if there is nothing there step into it. You just stepped out of nothing to step into nothing again. Like the wave of an ocean, it rises into nothing and is united with it as it flows back into the depth of the watery ocean. Everything is united and unity, or connectedness, whether it is called the wind, the rain, the ocean, a wave, or nothing is the ultimate and absolute truth about everything that exists.

There is only one absolute - call it Brahm, call it God, call it Truth - there is only the One. BUT! That One has millions of ways it can reveal itself to us. Each revelation is true (italics) for the receiver of the revelation (close italics). If that person then goes on and teaches his or her revelation as absolute truth then they are quite simply wrong. That mistaken belief that MY revelation is superior, more true, more right, than yours has been the cause of a great deal of human suffering.

But if a teacher realises that the great task is to lead / push people to their own revelation then they will use any means at their disposal to achieve that end. Thus a master will tell one pupil that heaven is three pounds of flax and another that it is the cypress tree in the courtyard. These apparent contradictions are just means to ends.

i don't think it can be taught, i think it can only be recognised. however, there may be techniques which help a person open their eyes, awaken, whatever we might like to call it, which can be taught.

(((seekers one and all)))

so, thinking about your example, about the ocean, the wave and nothing: a thing can be true in a particular moment in time, for a particular individual in a very particular circumstance (i.e. not absolute) but accepting that truth may put you on the road to the absolute (if there is even such a thing outside of mathematics).

Absolute truth cannot be grasped; it is not a tangible entity. It is only a finger pointing toward something, but remember, when you point a finger at something, three fingers are pointing back at you, where Absolute Truth lies. Absolute truth is broad enough to enclose all individual interpretations of what "it" is, that is why it is so elusive.

No

and the master is not teaching the truth,

he is rather making the disciples aware of it by cutting their preconceptions about it.

I find it amusing that people call objective truth which is simply true for everyone "truth", but then go and call subjective truth which is only true in the eye of the beholder "Truth". Humans are hilarious.

yes it can be taught

god holds the absolute truth not man

no the master never revealed any truth to each person if he contradicted him self

One absolute truth is that most people won't read that.

There are many absolute truths. How may do you know?

Absolute truth can only come through personal revelation by experience.
