It uses words like pagans, false religion, defiled and offensive to describe the existence of a Buddhist inspired interfaith centre, on the basis that it may have been occupied by a saint of his/her religion 1400 years ago. Tearing down prayer flags is encouraged. The author displays the sort of characteristics that make this a dangerous world and needs to learn lessons of tolerance. Please don't return to our country with your poisonous ideas.Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14568417438111173904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086833995941525990.post-60703331395072810882016-12-19T14:23:49.340-05:002016-12-19T14:23:49.340-05:00Pagans?

The intention of the project is to promote peace, tolerance and inter-faith harmony and it is very respectful of the beliefs of others. Their website even stresses that it is not a Buddhist Centre, along with the following details regarding ownership passing to them: <br /><br />'In 1990, Lama Yeshe was approached by Mrs Kay Morris, who owned Holy Isle together with her husband. Mrs Morris, a devout Catholic, had been instructed by Mother Mary in a dream to pass Holy Isle to him, to be used for peace and meditation'.<br /><br />Incidentally, Buddhism should not be viewed as a religion, it's a philosophy, so applying the term 'pagan' or 'non-believer' is open to challenge. I think religious tolerance & peaceful intentions (i.e. not inciting people to 'rip' the prayer flags down that belong to the 'heathens') is a good thing. My guess is that you won't be approving this blog through moderation on the grounds of heresy. I hope I'm proved wrong.<br /><br />Best wishes, Blessings, Namaste & Shalom.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01230181508595945964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086833995941525990.post-56177132364516173912011-12-21T10:09:33.996-05:002011-12-21T10:09:33.996-05:00Norse mythology.

The final chapter deals with the sale of the island. There were 3 different owners between 1958 and 1991, the island had formed part of the estate of the last Duchess of Hamilton. A couple from Dublin called Morris were the final owners, although at one time they were in talks with Cardinal O' Fiach about forming a trust to be run jointly by the Irish and Scottish churches, eventually they approached the Tibetan Buddhists about purchasing the island. It has to be said that there was opposition to the move, but this mainly came from the Presbyterians, for otherwise there was much soggy ecumenism in the air. The comments quoted by Kenny are the usual waffle, the abbot of Nunraw apparently spoke about the parallel monastic traditions in Buddhism and Catholicism and stated that we are indebted to the Buddhist monks for bringing Holy Island to new life!Brigithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10500169174019662556noreply@blogger.com
