Originally established by Geshe Michael Roach under the spiritual direction of Khen Rinpoche Geshe Lobsang Tharchin, a most distinguished scholar and master of Buddhism from Tibet. As a result of completing full studies with Khen Rinpoche and at Sera Monastery in India, Geshe Michael Roach developed and taught a 7-year Formal Study Program in New York. That program condensed the essence of the Six Great Books of Buddhism into a series of 15 Formal Study Courses. ACI ny teachers are trained and experienced in this extensive program of study and the authentic Tibetan tradition.

ACI ny provides a thorough, accurate Tibetan Buddhist education to anyone interested. ACI ny captures the heart of Buddhist philosophy and offers a wide variety of courses for spiritually minded people of all levels of beginner and advanced practitioners. Classes are a great way to meet others who travel on a variety of spiritual paths

All ACI ny classes are free and are available throughout the New York area.
