So if truths do only appear to a concealing consciousness it doesn't make sense at all to apply the term 'truth' in the affirmative. Therefore there aren't any truths.
If you replace the expression 'the two levels of truth' by the expression 'the two levels of experience' that may be a solution if - and only if - truth is not assigned to any of 'the two levels of experience'. |
There is only one Truth :)
That is what it says, that is why it is called the Ultimate Truth.
Yet, how do you say that to people who have no clue as to what they are describing because they are stuck in conventional truth? You have to explain the experience everyone experiences together.
That is what the Two Truths are about.
