Abstract

Ekaterina says that she has the following objects on her domestic altar: candles, statues of Buddha, Manjushri, Tsagan Aav and Green Tara, a picture of the Dalai Lama XIV, a picture of Itigelov (Buryat lama, best known for the lifelike state of his dead body), and a photo of a lama who gave teachings in Kalmykia. Ekaterina says that she lights candles on the 15th and 30th days of the lunar calendar. Ekaterina also has an Orthodox Christian altar in her house. She brings consecrated water and butter from the church and puts them on her altar.
