At the center of ACIP is a core group of dedicated Tibetan refugees in South Asia who are accomplishing the great majority of our work—the input of tens of thousands of pages of Tibetan woodblock prints. These inspiring people continue year after year, through extremely difficult conditions in the Tibetan refugee settlements that dot the Indian subcontinent, to preserve Indo-Tibetan culture and share it with interested persons in other countries of the world. On behalf of ACIP and all those who ever use our materials, we would like to acknowledge their efforts.
ACIP's efforts began in south Asia through the faith and support provided by Sera Mey Tibetan Monastic University. Important assistance in the very beginning came from the Venerable Khensur Rinpoche Geshe Lobsang Tharchin, former Abbot of Sera Mey and by the Venerable Pomra Khensur Lobsang Ngudup, also a former Abbot of the Monastery. Abbot emeritus Venerable Kongpo Khensur Jampa Donyo also gave unflagging support to ACIP, as did the founding Abbot of Sera Mey in South India, the Venerable Gyalrong Khensur Ngawang Tekchok. The ACIP South Asia Field Office is now under the directorship of the Venerable Geshe Jampa Dadak, assisted by our general manager Ms. Sonam Lhamo. Former directors have been Geshe Ngawang Rigdol, under whose tenure ACIP greatly expanded, and who now serves as Secretary of Sera Mey Monastery, Geshe Ngawang Dhargyey, and Geshe Thupten Phelgye, who also helped establish the St. Petersburg Catalog effort.
