Tatyana Boskhomdzhieva, The Diamond Sutra

Tatyana shows a book, the Diamond Sutra, that she inherited from her grandparents. The sutra is old and written in Tibetan. It is wrapped in green and red cloths. Tatyana says she keeps the sutra in cleanliness and lights a candle in front of it. According to her mother-in-law’s advice, Tatyana takes the sutra to the temple twice a year so that the lamas read from it.
