Tomek once told me he had a significant experience in Scotland in the sixties which led him to see the need for "Enlightened Society", so when he later met Trungpa Rinpoche there was an immediate connection. Over the last decade Tomek continued to work on what he called "Wisdom Society", through zoom meetings, a web site, and a YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@wisdomsociety5006). He wrote: “I loved physics and started my studies in this field, later on switching to mathematics. Unfortunately (for money) I started to do informatics and, later on, Buddhism and Shambhala, but no regrets. Once I told Dizigar Kongtrul that for several years I had been reading Longchenpa’s _Treasury of Dharmadhatu_ and I liked Barron's translation. He was happy and told me that reading it could be sufficient. … I told him that the whole book is a 14th-century vision of super-advanced physics. He told me to try to express it in this way, that it will help the world. Unfortunately, I am now too old and my memory is fading, so we agreed to do it in the next lifetime. That is the whole story, which appears rather strange but is true. "
