"Buddhist teacher"

edit

Can we get a better source regarding what her father actually does? "Buddhist teacher", to me at least, implies "a teacher who is Buddhist", but the implication of the wider paragraph (and the cited source) is that he and his daughter are practicing Jews, or at least a-religious people who identify as ethnically Jewish. I guess he's either a professional Buddhologist or a teacher of American secularized Zen mental health practices or some such, but without a better source the info can't be amended.

Hi, just read this. I am and have been a Buddhist teacher for the last 30+ years. I am a senior teacher at Spirit Rock Meditation Center as well as the founding teacher of San Francisco Insight. I have taught many 10 day and longer silent meditation retreats and a weekly class here in San Francisco. Hope that clarifies your understanding.
Metta,

Aya Cash was raised Jewish, but stopped practicing as a teenager. She identifies as ethnically Jewish but does not consider herself religious. Aya's father, Eugene Cash, started to teach Buddhism when she was six. She's talked about both of these things in multiple podcasts and interviews but I do not know how to edit a wiki page. The Jewish question can be found specifically in her interview with Karen Fukuhara on Karen's YouTube page. JWhitt23 (talk) 15:32, 8 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
