Physicist especially those that dwell in Quantum mechanics are continually amazed by the discovery of more and more sub-atomic particles as they increase their magnification. Will they ever come to the tiniest of them all???. Buddhism simply tell us, no matter where Consciousness rest, objects of awareness will appear and have consciousness as it essence.
To illustrate, it is mentioned in certain sutra 'on the tip of the buddha hair are countless buddha lands'
Sound incredible until we read what mainstream astro physics have to say. Our borderless universe come from the big bang out of a particle no bigger than a pea. We can both zoom in or out ,but one can never reach Infinity.
On record Albert Einstein is not the first to offer the concept of space-time continum as the ancient sutra already refer to our universe as Time-Space [ Shih- Cheh in chinese]

Freedom from suffering
It is stated in all religions that Knowing the Truth will bring an end to All suffering. This Truth is our very nature and is ever-present. Then why are there so much suffering ????
As repeated over and over in my earlier post, suffering have a foothold when a living being [formless] identified itself with form [ appearance ] as Mr or Miss so and so. This is the original mistake [sin] that turns the wheel of samsara. The person is an illusion and have never come to Truly exist.
When The sufferer [person] does not exist. Who then suffer ???
Liberation is From the person [ego] and never For the person [ a non-existent Image ]
Our True nature is the Sole witness of all appearances during the dream and
upon awakening, we are this Dreamer that is none other than Awareness

Truth in a nutshell
For contemplation ,a short write up will be ideal if the essence is maintained. Here is an attempt. Embrace the pointers if it make sense and reject it if it does not.
Nothing can be Known unless there is Knowing
What is Knowing cannot be known, for it will then be in the realm of the known
Since you are the 'Knowing' you will at once realize that identifying with the
Body-mind [both are known] is a gross mistake[sin]
You have always been the ever present all knowing NON-conceptual Awareness, IN which
appearances, sensation and thoughts appears and disappear from moment to moments.
