The Sun came up this morning. That is relative truth.
The Sun doesn't actually come up or go down. That is Ultimate truth.

Just like the difference between the superstitious speculations of abhidhamahayanists, and the simple truths of the Buddha's liberative teachings: one is a collection of pretty though sometimes perhaps somewhat inspiring falsehoods, the other a fount of practical and useful truths.

Abhidhammahayana is the astrology to the astronomy of the Buddha's teachings.
