He might not have said it directly in every sutra in which he described nirvana. And it seems that even Buddhist culture has some faith in some kind of an objective reality. But given that lord buddha didn't invent or used some strange godly language and taught everything in the language people commonly used those days, it's highly unlikely a bunch of regular people could have invented the perfect language which is capable of describing everything. </blockquote>
