Journey in Search of the Way

This autobiography describes a woman's attainment of enlightenment in modern Japan. Satomi Myd rejected the traditional roles of good wife and wise mother, broke with her unhappy past, and followed her spiritual path beginning as the disciple of a Shinto priest. At midlife she turned to Zen Buddhism encouraged by a female dharma friend and by various teachers. Under the guidance of Yasutani Rshi she attained Kensh, the goal of her lifetime's search.
