What is Mu? (koan)

I think this one is best suited for anyone rationalising too much as we simply have no clue what Mu is  

Sound of one hand , frog jumping into water, sound of a falling tree … etc all these lend themselves well to making all sorts of conclusions but Mu is the Mama of Koans as there is nothing we know of being the Mu  

Now dig into that one  


BTW, I don’t know the answer! 

Oh ok! I will shut up now and retreat into my cave …

It is interesting to hear the history, though. I'm just inthe mood to joke around a bit. 

Mu = Shyeah

as in...

I don’t know. 

Think it might be pronounced "Duh"?

(I know, late to the party as usual)

This reminds me, there's a flower and tearoom in Helsinki called The Mu Philosophy. It's very hard to tell what is going on in there from the outside, which kind of fits the name of the shop I think. The place is filled with plants and I guess there's a table or two somewhere in there. I guess it's a place for contemporary art as well. Very refreshing to see a shop, that seems so ambiguous, on a busy street in Helsinki. I'll have to visit and see what the Mu is going on in there.
