Maybe I’m missing the defining of terms. Relative truth is not objective truth. It’s perception and perceptions can be a faulty picture of absolute or objective truth.
A tree is a tree and it is composed of other things. The fact that a tree is composed of carbon and nitrogen and oxygen does not mean the tree ceases to be a tree.
Creator, created, and creating would still all be absolute truths.
Maybe I’m missing what you’re saying but it sounds like your saying relative truth is perception and objective truth is beyond that.
It also seems like you’re saying that all perceptions are false. But to do that you are claiming that one perception is true which is the narrators view that, in this case, the Buddhist has found. His perspective is the objective reality and ultimate truth. This is a logical contradiction and cannot be the case.
