I hope Aloka-D's link helps you with Buddha nature.

The Buddhism I have read seems to deal with absolutes---"right thinking", "right speech" "right attitude" and this seems to contradict the fact that that such are grounded in the secular world, as well as being ambiguous unless extensively elaborated upon.

No contradiction at all. No need for extensive elaboration. It would be a mistake to think that "right ..." means it has been decided by a master what is "right" and what else is "wrong".

It is for you to examine your view, your intention, your speech, facing your own truth, being your own judge. You will know what is right when you have cleared away the obscurations and barriers that the mind creates to protect the ego.
