One should be able to understand the difference between “philosophical absolute truth”, “spiritual absolute Truth” and that “Truth to which the Buddha awakens” and by the name of awakening to which this title of Buddha has this title. You should also be able to understand between the concept of "Truth" with a capital letter and the concept of "truth" with a small letter.
Truth with a small letter is called the content of the thought about the essence of the knowable, which has overcome the status of a hypothesis in the procedures for checking for compliance with the knowable; coincidence of thinking and reality as opposed to delusion (contradiction of thinking and reality). The criterion of truth is practice. Truth with a small letter is also called the statements of a person when it corresponds to reality (truth as opposed to lies). The concept of truth is also still used in logic, when one or another logical statement has no contradictions.
The concept of absolute truth (with a small letter) is used in philosophy. In philosophy, absolute truth is a true statement, which acts as the original scientific knowledge, the content of which does not imply problematization, correction. In other words, if a statement can be problematized with further correction according to the criterion of completeness, or according to the criterion of relativity, or according to the criterion of situationality (and also, in some philosophical schools, according to the criterion of chance, concreteness), then this truth is not absolute.
The essence of philosophical absolute truth lies in its absence.
Truth with a capital letter is usually understood as spiritual absolute Truth.
The essence of the spiritual absolute Truth lies not in the existence of the One God and not in the structure (universal interconnectedness, structure) of the universe, and not in the existence of the other world, but in the eradication of worldly desires.
The eradication of worldly desires means the same as liberation from addictions, from samsara, from the fetters of samsara, from suffering, from illusions, from bonds, from karma and from other such things; means the same as the achievement of nirvana, the absence of excitement, the state of the Absolute, the state of absolute peace.
In essence, there is no difference between "spiritual absolute Truth" and "The Truth to which a Buddha awakens". This is the same. However, it is very important to understand the difference between the two related things that are being discussed here. “The truth to which a buddha awakens” is the state of mahanirvana, the experience of this state, and what remains of the buddha as a result of this experience. All this material cannot be conveyed in a verbal-logical form. However, on the third hand, all this material can be conveyed to some extent in a verbal-logical form. So, it is precisely the part that can be conveyed in a verbal-logical form and is transmitted by the concept of “spiritual absolute Truth”. The experience of a Buddha is reflected by this concept, but it is not reduced to it in sufficient completeness.
