- Great idea! From the article:
"Tibetans hope to form a new community in Edinburgh and make space available for exhibitions, talks and religious outreach events. The monks, who are followers of the Dalai Lama, pictured, say the church, which was built in 1871, would be the perfect location for their new cultural centre despite the fact the building would need to be completely gutted."
Elle-ba adds,
"Stumbleupons's very own Thom McCarthy leads the way for Tibetan Buddhists hoping to convert a derelict church in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town into a Buddhist temple and cultural centre. Blackfriars Street United Presbyterian Church was put on the market last week after lying empty for more than a decade. But they face competition from other potential buyers, including developers interested in converting the building into a hotel or flats."
How do we get behind this?
"Help needed in Edinburgh, Scotland. Letters in support to the; Director of Planning, 1 Cockburn Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1BP, would be invaluable at this stage as the 'planners' hold the key to the future useage of this site up for sale, after blocking any commercial development the next hurdle is to raise the funds to purchase and develop this former church into an interfaith space administered by the Buddhists based at Samye Ling in Dumfriesshire.
