Rory LINDSAY is an assistant professor in the Department for the Study of Religion at the University of Toronto. He is also an editor at 84000: Translating the Words of the Buddha, and a visiting scholar at the Buddhist Texts Translation Initiative at the University of California, Santa Barbara. His recent book Saving the Dead: Tibetan Funerary Rituals in the Tradition of the “Sarvadurgatipariśodhana Tantra” (Arbeitskreis für Tibetische und Buddhistische Studien, Universität Wien, 2024) examines the history of Kunrik funerary practices in Tibet and the intersecting forms of agency—human, nonhuman, and material—that are described in Kunrik ritual manuals. His second book, co-authored with Tibetan scholar Khenpo Tashi Dorje, will examine the life and writings of the twentieth-century master Drayab Lodrö Gyaltsen.
