Vera says that Bosya Kharaeva, a famous Kalmyk singer, is from the same village of Dzhalykovo as her. She reminisces about how Bosya used to tell people to observe customs. One of these customs involves tossing white and yellow coins into water when people visit their native villages. Prayers should include not only Buddhas but ancestral spirits as well.Sponsored by Arcadia Fund, a charitable fund of Lisbet Rausing and Peter Baldwi
