In an innovative arrangement, two Zen students blanching from accumulated retreat fees and member dues exacted by their Zen Center announced that they were merging.
The students, who go by the dharma names Shim Mu and Mu An, will share the benefits of a single membership in the Diamond Plum Blossom zen lineage, alternating attendance at retreats and also taking turns at dokusan with Zen Master Want-Do.
They will also share one dharma name, an amalgam of their individual precept names, combining to create the name: Mu Mu.

If I join can we be Mu Mu Mu?

Mu Mu Mu,
Nu?
Mu Buddha
Mu Dharma
Mu Sangha
Hae Mu Mu,
Here’s a grass shoe
Nothing left to do
But write, “How are you?”
Hae Moony Mu,
You speak Hebrew,
Can I pass as a Jew
If I sing eleinu?
Hae Mu Moony
Prajna can’t be shared -
Even when entombed
Among the no-haired!

Hae Mu Mun
What’s left undone?
It seems I forgot
to write a new one.
You’ll have to abide
My brain’s too fried
To be witty or pithy
or even just snide.
