Definitions

  1. Twelfth letter of the Greek alphabet.

Word origin

From Ancient Greek μῦ (mû), derived from Phoenician 𐤌𐤌 (mm /⁠mem⁠/, “water”). Doublet of mem.

Used in a sentence

  • A monk once asked Master Joshu, 'Has a dog the Buddha Nature or not?' Joshu said, 'Mu!'
  • That being the case, we should naturally choose to contemplate mu from morning to night, forgetting everything.
  • Consequently, though mu is mindlike, the likeness to individual consciousness cannot be pushed very far.
