How Your Support Opens Doors
One of the super things ACI does is give scholarships to deserving individuals throughout the year. This includes gifts for high school students to go to college and ACI students to attend Geshe Michael events. Last year, ACI gave a scholarship to Liudmila Podorozhko, a student from Ukraine who told us this:
"In the summer of 2024, I received a full scholarship from ACI for a trip to Mexico for a retreat with Geshe Michael. I know it's how my seeds were working, but it would not have been possible without ACI and everyone who helped me create and manifest this. I am eternally grateful to my ACI benefactors for your kindness, your wisdom and generosity. Your support means an opportunity for me and many others to learn, to practice, to transmit dharma for the benefit of everyone. Geshe Michael teaches us that all the walls of all the buildings are held up by kindness. And in my experience, I know that your kindness and generosity can also create gateways to a world of unlimited possibilities, where there is happiness without suffering for everyone. Thank you so much, ACI! Thank you to all my ACI benefactors for every bit of your generosity, which ends up being a huge whole in realizing goals, dreams and great desires."

We need everyone to join in.
Students of ACI share a secret, and we want to remind you of it today. It's a secret you, as a student of wisdom, already know: the more you give with a free hand and a whole heart, the more you get. It's the seed system in action.
Do you have personal goals for 2026? Well, giving to a wonderful to an organization that benefits so many people around the world like Asian Classics Institute/Five Houses—founded to spread the ancient wisdom by our amazing teacher Geshe Michael Roach 32 years ago in 1993—is the best way to guarantee achieving them.
