The rabbi I spoke to said the shul could have been sold for any other purpose but absolutely not for Buddhism because every posek considers it to be outright Avodah Zarah.
He directed me to an article The Sale of a Synagogue by Rabbi Israel Poleyeff in the Journal of Halacha and Contemporary Society.
From what I read even a mosque might have been preferable.
