One Truth Two Truth Four Truth No Truth
One Truth Two Truth Four Truth No Truth
The Christian and Islam says there is only 1 Truth , that is their God is the Only True God , both says there is 1 Truth . So if add up there are Two Truth . The non-believer says there isnt a Truth . Now Buddhism says there are Four Truth actually , does Four Truth proclaimation is as valid as One Truth ?
No bashing No gossiping

There is only one Truth, which is "Four Noble Truths".

The God of the Abrahamic religions is eternalism and annihilationism in practice. To have an eternal and timeless god is necessary to construct a theory of how things came to be, which can be only done through annihilating all other possible starting points (the one true God). This is why, the concept of truth can be deceptive to use it as a basis to compare/contrast the teachings of the Buddha with Abrahamic religions. The four noble truths are known by noble people, they are not public knowledge. As a public knowledge, the four noble truths are an antithesis to monotheistic religions.
And the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: "Behold now, bhikkhus, I exhort you: All compounded things are subject to vanish. Strive with earnestness!"
This was the last word of the Tathagata.

the soul is a mystery…
being against it is misguided
Re: One Truth Two Truth Four Truth No Truth
Everybody thinks they are right, so who is wrong?
Who owns the truth?
Conventions are merely that.
Who owns the truth?
Conventions are merely that.
"Whatever is seen or heard or sensed
and fastened onto as true by others,
One who is Such — among the self-fettered —
wouldn't further claim to be true or even false.
"Having seen well in advance that arrow
where generations are fastened & hung
— 'I know, I see, that's just how it is!' —
there's nothing of the Tathagata fastened."
And what is right speech? Abstaining from lying, from divisive speech, from abusive speech, & from idle chatter: This is called right speech.

Buddha said that the view “This is the only truth that every thing else is false” is a wrong grasping. Even Four Noble Truth is a view how ever it leads to end all views.
