Seishi Karashima, 1957–2019
by Charles DiSimone
Dear Colleagues,It is with great regret that I report the unfortunate news of the passing of Professor Seishi Karashima last night. He was a leading figure, and perhaps one of the most productive, in the field of Buddhist Studies. His passing is a terrible loss. An obituary will be made available in due course.
Sincerely,
Charles DiSimone

Seishi Karashima was a massive
contributor to the DDB from our early days, and one of the project's staunchest
supporters. He was a consummate philologist who had a significant impact on our
field. We are sad to hear of his passing at such a young age.Seishi Karashima's contributions to the DDB:
