Asia Society New York is hosting a Facebook Live and YouTube Live event with Epidemiologist Dr. Larry Brilliant and the Venerable Tenzin Priyadarshi, "Running Toward Mystery: A Conversation on Ethics, Science and Spirituality."
Running Toward Mystery: A Conversation on Ethics, Science and Spirituality
Running Toward Mystery: A Conversation on Ethics, Science and Spirituality
I'm looking forward to this event because a friend recommended Venerable Tenzin Priyadarshi's teachings to me this year during the pandemic, and I enjoyed his online retreat I joined in May. I also added Venerable Tenzin Priyadarshi and Zara Houshmand's book Running Toward Mystery: The Adventure of an Unconventional Life to my long reading list.
The Asia Society is also new to me. I enjoyed the June 17, 2020 online event "Shahidul Alam With Ram Rahman: The Tide Will Turn" hosted by Asia Society New York. Watch the recording of renowned photographer and activist Shahidul Alam sharing his work and discussing the power of the image to tell a story and the stories of many who are unable to share their narrative with the world. "Running Toward Mystery: A Conversation on Ethics, Science and Spirituality" is the next event in the series.
