Two truths. Relative truth and ultimate truth. Relative truth describes the seeming, superficial and apparent mode of all things. Ultimate truth describes the real, true and unmistaken mode. These two aspects of reality are defined by the Four Philosophical Schools as well as the tantras of Vajrayana in different ways, each progressively deeper and closer to describing things as they are
the two truths [i.e. ultimate truth (don dam bden pa, paramārtha-satya); and conventional truth (kun rdzob bden pa, samvṛti-satya)]
