I notice one little problem with the name. Zendo terminology is based on
Japanese, not Chinese. (In all fairness, the Japanese word Zendo is based
on the Chinese word Zen-Dao.) Mondo, katsu, satori--all Japanese. So when
you attach a Chinese word to the beginning, so you get a few possibilities.
What first came to mind is that Anzen means "safe." In this case, Anzendo
would mean "Safe Way." I then looked up An by itself, three things came
up. You can pick between "bean jam," "hermitage, retreat," and "plan,
suggestion, ponder, idea." I vote Bean Jam Zendo!
