Autumn Light: My Fifty Years in Zen is the story of one woman's
witness to the remarkable half-century when Buddhist philosophy and
practice took root in the religious landscape of the West. Author
Edwina Norton has been a devoted practitioner of the Soto school of
Zen for the past 50 years. In 2013, at the age of 78, she was
ordained a Zen priest and immediately thereafter participated in a
rigorous three-month training at Tassajara Zen Mountain Monastery
in California. Told in the intimate voice of a dharma friend,
Autumn Light weaves Norton's life experiences with the Zen
teachings and practice that sustained her through personal and
professional challenges while raising two sons alone. Now retired
to the Pacific Northwest, she practices with a small, diverse Zen
community of young and older Zen students. Her late-in-life
commitment as a priest has sparked a series of challenges that have
tested her resolve to follow the rigorous practices of the Zen
tradition. Priesthood has also rewarded her with unexpected, new
insights into the meaning of her life.
