'''Absolute''' (Tib. ''döndam''; [[Wyl.]] ''don dam''), or [[absolute truth]] (Tib. ''döndam denpa'') — everything has an absolute and a relative aspect: the absolute or ultimate is the inherent nature of everything, how things really are; the conventional or relative is how things appear. In the teachings, these are known as ‘the [[two truths]]’, but they are not to be understood as two separate dimensions, rather as two aspects of a single reality.

In its essence, [the absolute] is without any divisions, but still it is possible to speak of ‘divisions’ according to whether or not this reality has been realized. Thus, there are divisions into 
*the absolute which is the basic nature itself and 
*the absolute which is the realization (or ‘making evident’) of this basic nature. 
Then again, there is the division into 
*the absolute that is clarified<ref>Literally “about which misconceptions are eliminated.”</ref> through study and reflection and 
*the absolute that is experienced through [[meditation]] practice; 
or 
*the absolute that is conceptually inferred by ordinary beings versus 
*the absolute that is experienced directly by [[Arya|noble beings]]. 
There is also a division into 
*the conceptual absolute (''namdrangpé döndam'') and 
*the absolute that is beyond conceptualization (''namdrang mayinpé döndam'').
