Red Cedar Zen Community, 1021 N Forest, Bellingham Washington

Dharma Talks by Shuko Edie Norton

Shūkō Edie Norton began Zen practice in 1974 in California. She received the precepts in 1977 from Kobun Chino Otogawa, and again in 2000 from Tenshin Reb Anderson. In 2011 she was shuso for the Red Cedar Zen Community, and in 2013 she received tokudo (priest ordination) from Nomon Tim Burnett. Devoted to Buddhist teachings, Shuko Edie is especially intrigued by the ways in which sangha practice supports individual realization and individual practice supports sangha life.

    Memorial Ceremony for Shuko Edie Norton


    Red Cedar Zen Community would like to warmly invite everyone - family, friends and relations near and far - to the memorial ceremony for our dear friend and sangha member, Shuko Edie Norton.

    Edie died in the early morning of March 5, 2024.  She passed peacefully at home with family nearby.  At Edie's request, a few members of the community sat with her body the day that she died, sometimes meditating in silence, sometimes sharing stories, gratitude and laughter.  Edie was dressed in her exquisite hand-sewn priest's robes.  

    You may view Edie's obituary here.

    Please bring your warm hearts as we gather to remember our beloved friend, and to support her sons Dan and Alec.  Kindly use the registration to RSVP so we have a count of those attending in person.  Those wishing to attend on Zoom need not register.

    Potluck finger food is invited.  Kindly bring something to share if you are able to do so.

    In lieu of flowers, you might make a donation to an organization that supports the causes and concerns of women.

    Location: Note the memorial will be held in the Bellingham Unitarian Church's Sanctuary where they hold their church services. After entering at the front doors on Ellsworth go straight to the back and then right through the two large doors (not downstairs).
