halacha - Can a yeshiva be holier than Beis Hamikdosh?

Rambam in his Mishneh Torah (Prayer and the Priestly Blessing 11:14) states that a hall of study is holier than a synagogue.

This raises an interesting question if a hall of study can be holier than Beis Hamikdosh? (Of course, I understand that logically the Temple should be the holiest place, yet it would be interesting to see how others would answer this question).
