Chokma is a Chickasaw word meaning 'good'. I am a student of the Buddhadharma living in a small community in middle Tennessee. The land we occupy was ceded by the Chickasaw tribe in 1816.

Striking the Heart of the Essence

Before his death, Garab Dorje imparted his last testament to Manjushrimitra. These three precepts, known as the Three Words that Strike to the Heart of the Essential Point or Tsig Sum Nèdek (Tibetan: tshig gSum gNad brDeg) summarize the whole of the Dzogchen teachings:

    1. One is introduced directly to one’s true nature or “Direct introduction.”
    2. One attains certainty about this natural state or “Remaining without doubt.”
    3. One continues with confidence in liberation or “Continuing in the non-dual state.”
