The Buddha hall pagoda is gone but the base is still there. We have stopped them from destroying further. Media has been very supportive and Pune
Municipal Corporation also told them that they needed permission before demolition, so they had to stop.
Tomorrow we may go to court so that they don't go any further.
Osho lovers living can send in their appeals by post

You could write about what Buddha Hall Dhyan Mandir meant to you and Osholovers around the world, dismantling, altering this temple would amount to a crime against the world heritage...etc. It is as sacred as
Bodhi Tree to Buddhists, Osho sat ,in the Buddha Hall, for years and conducted meditations, spoke on all the sacred scriptures of the world in front of people from over hundred countries who took sannyas and celebrated with the master. Such a place must be maintained in its originality
and it must not be destroyed.
You could also state that you don't come to India to see resorts--you have so many in the West. You come to India for something sacred and meditation, and Buddha hall was sacred to you because it was graced with Osho's presence and thousands of people meditating and celebrating together.
It would be great if you could get some signatures from friends, send it individually or ask others to write as
well.
Lots of love to you!
