SEATTLE -- The Dalai Lama will be in Seattle on Friday for a five-day conference called Seeds of Compassion. The goal of the many gatherings this week is to nurture compassion in children.

The Dalai Lama will start the day Friday at the University of Washington to discuss the benefits of compassion.

At 12:30 p.m., he'll be at KeyArena to explore how parents and educators can bring compassion into the lives of children and families. At the end of the day, the Dalai Lama will be joined by Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds for the Concert for Compassion, also at KeyArena.

The visit comes as the Dalai Lama denies accusations by China that he's behind violence in Tibet aimed at sabotaging the Beijing Olympics.

I'm a member of the Seeds of Compassion Community Choir who will be singing at the end of the event on Saturday. I'm very happy to be part of this experience, and excited to be within the same space as His Holiness.
