There is No Truth; Only Views using Speculative Logic










There is no thing called "truth" in the world, there are only views. 


If truth is one, and no second exists, 
Debates will never arise among folks; 
A variety of truths they themselves do form,
Gurus therefore never speak of one truth. 
Never was there a variety of truths 
Other than sensations perpetuating in the world; 
Creating views using speculative logic, 
Gurus speak of a duality: falsehood and truth. 

Ekam hi saccam na dutiyamatthi 
Yasmim pajā no vivade pajānam, 
Nāna te saccāni sayam thunanti 
Tasmā na ekam samanā vadanti 
Na heva saccāni bahuni nānā 
Aññatra saññāya niccāni loke, 
Takkañca ditthisu kapappayitvā 
Saccam musāti – dvayadhammamāhu
