V Houses is your daily companion for keeping vows and deepening meditation — practiced together, as a community. Built for students in the tradition of the Asian Classics Institute and the teachings of Geshe Michael Roach, V Houses keeps your commitments present throughout the day and connects you to the teachers and friends who practice alongside you. KEEP YOUR DAILY VOWS Follow the path that fits your practice: the Freedom Vows, the Refuge & Layperson's Vows, the Bodhisattva Vows, or the Diamond Way Vows. Receive six vows each day on a gentle rotating schedule, with timed reminders from morning to night so nothing slips by. A "now" vow on your home dashboard always shows what to hold in this moment. REFLECT & UNDERSTAND Open any vow to journal what went well and where you fell short. Tap AI Reflection for a clear explanation and concrete, real-life examples of each vow — so the teaching becomes practical, not abstract. Your Purification intentions gather in one Antidotes list, to tick off as you carry them out. MEDITATE — ALONE OR TOGETHER A clean meditation timer with a choice of bells. Log every sit and watch your total time, days, and streak grow. Track your progress through the classic nine stages of meditation, with a contextual tip for wherever you are on the path. See who in your sangha is Sitting Now and join them in real time. GUIDED AUDIO MEDITATIONS Press play and the sit starts right there, logged like any other. The 101 Meditations: monthly guided meditations with Geshe Michael Roach through the 101 Steps on the Path, open to 30/30/30 Campaign supporters. Public Meditations: a free selection open to everyone. Arya's Diamond Way Series, for participants in the Live Transmission 2026. Recordings play in your language where they exist, including Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese. PRACTICE IN COMMUNITY A worldwide sangha: browse members, follow practitioners and teachers, and see your community on a live map. Tap a person for their card — where they practice, when they last sat — and send a wave or some love. Teachers: link to your teacher and get a gentle nudge when they begin a sit, so you can sit with them. Supporters of the 30/30/30 Campaign can see when Geshe Michael Roach is meditating live and join his sits, with optional reminders before his next scheduled sit. IN YOUR LANGUAGE Available in 16 languages, with the vows and meditation stages translated by practitioners in the tradition. MAKE IT YOURS Seven hand-tuned color themes. Retreat mode: hide the tabs and cards you don't need and quiet the notifications while you're on retreat. Tsok and Tsechu lunar observances on your calendar. An iOS home-screen widget that shows your current vow at a glance. Protect your journal with a PIN or Face ID. Add a profile photo and your city to appear on the community map. YOUR PRACTICE IS PRIVATE Your journal and reflections belong to your own account. Location is shared only at the city level, and only if you choose to. Whether you're holding the Freedom Vows for the first time or deep into Diamond Way practice, V Houses helps you keep your word, day after day — and reminds you that you're never practicing alone.
