I believe compassion to be one of the few things we can practice that will bring immediate and long-term happiness to our lives. I’m not talking about the short-term gratification of pleasures like sex, drugs or gambling (though I’m not knocking them), but something that will bring true and lasting happiness. The kind that sticks.”      - His Holiness the Dalai Lama

April11-15, 2008 - Seattle, WA

Seeds of Compassion is a 5-day gathering to engage the hearts and minds of the community by highlighting the vision, science, and programs of early social, emotional and cognitive learning.  His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama will participate in dialogue with leading educators, researchers, and policy makers during the event.
