Dalai Lama coming to Seattle with message of compassion; tickets going fast

Tickets to see the Dalai Lama in Seattle next month are going fast.

The Tibetan Buddhist leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner will be in Seattle April 11-15, joining other global leaders in discussions about the importance of nurturing compassion in children.

Most of the events — including the Dalai Lama's talk at Qwest Field on April 12 — are free and open to the public, but tickets are required.

Seeds of Compassion, the organization sponsoring the event, is distributing a number of tickets to community organizations. Individuals may request tickets at: www.seedsofcompassion.org.
