This was a thread I posted earlier in the Apologetics section, but I think it might be more fitting here

Can someone explain to me this:

Only in God will he find the truth and happiness he never stops searching for. - CCC 27

Yet there are religions like Buddhism where people say they have attained a transcendent permanent peace and happiness without God. They claim the search to end suffering and achieve eternal bliss is over. They’ve claimed to have found all of the answers. Buddha said he never relied on God to achieve ‘Nirvana’. Those who reach this do so without a search of God. They actually claim they find out there is no Almighty God.

Does the CCC teach a falsehood here?
