    Awesome. Will you be giving this Monastery a Japanese name too, Jundo?

          Kai (開 Open) Mon (門 Door/Gate) In (院 Monastery)

                I really like Kaimon-In, it sounds great! Couldn't get a better pun.

                    Wonderful news, I'm looking forward to seeing the Ya'll Comm'on In Monastery blossoming and forging a path for others to follow.

                            The termination is actually 寺 which is also read -dera . For minor temples however, 院 (-in) is used. You would have Kiyomizu-dera but also Byodoin .. [emoji3526] ( all of this if I’m not mistaken hehe )

                                Here’s the frontpage of Byōdō-in which I mentioned earlier (also, one of my fav places [emoji1] ) Check out the last kanji
