About The Book

"Enlightened beings only appear to come and go, making themselves available for a time in this faltering world, but in reality they are never gone. Enlightened beings are always present here and now if you truly yearn to see them..."

Born in India to a prominent Hindu Brahmin family, the Venerable Tenzin Priyadarshi was only six years old when he began having visions of a mysterious mountain peak, and of men with shaved heads wearing robes the color of sunset. "It was as vivid as if I were watching a scene from life," he writes. And so at the age of ten, he ran away from boarding school to find this place--taking a train to the end of the line and then boarding a bus to wherever it went. Strangely enough, he ended up at a Buddhist monastery that was the place of his dreams. His frantic parents sent scouts to find him and, after two weeks, located him and brought him home. But he continued to have visions and feel a strong pull to a spiritual life in a tradition that he had never heard of as a child. Today, he is a revered monk and teacher as well as President & CEO of The Dalai Lama Center for Ethics and Transformative Values at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he works to build bridges among communities and religions. He is also director of the Ethics Initiative at the MIT Media Lab.

Running Toward Mystery is the Venerable Tenzin Priyadarshi's profound account of his lifelong journey as a seeker. At its heart is a story of striving for the unseen, the vital importance of mentors in that search, and of the many remarkable teachers he met along the way, among them the Dalai Lama, Desmond Tutu, and Mother Teresa. "Teachers come and go on their own schedule," Priyadarshi writes. "I clearly wasn't in charge of the timetable and it wasn't my place to specify how a teacher should teach..." But arrive they did, at the right time, in the right way, to impart the lessons that shaped a life of seeking, devotion, and deep human connection across all barriers. Running Toward Mystery is at once the bracing and beautiful story of a singular life compelled to contemplation, and the riveting narrative of just how exciting that journey can be.

Book Review

"Told with honesty and elegance, Tenzin Priyadarshi's story is utterly amazing" -ROBERT A.F. THURMAN

Running Toward Mystery is not merely a book, but an experience, a biography, a formula for living, and a manifesto for a new kind of exploration of life. Tenzin writes with the extraordinary conviction and grace that can come only from fulfillment. This book produces a kind of joy-and a nudge toward curiosity-that only few books can provide. It is, at the same time, a pathway and a journey. I could not put it down -SIDDHARTHA MUKHERJEE, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Emperor of All Maladies

"Enthralling from beginning to end, Running Toward Mystery encourages us all to connect with our deeper and higher selves. Tenzin's journey, which seamlessly traverses multiple worlds, is awe-inspiring" -ARIANNA HUFFINGTON, founder and CEO, Thrive Global

"Tenzin's amazing life story is not simply a stunningly compelling journey of meaning, discovery, and spiritual reawakening. It is a story of life. Everyone should read this book" - REID HOFFMAN, co-founder, LinkedIn

"A necessary and captivating narrative of spiritual courage and truth-seeking far beyond the veil of our contemporary delusions" -STING
