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.

The vajra wrath of bodhicitta, of love and compassion, — the great skillful means — will totally cut blazing anger and attachment. The emptiness vajra of great wisdom, free from complexities, pure from the beginning, will instantly destroy the darkness and confused vision of ignorance. The spontaneously accomplished union of skillful means and wisdom — vajra and padma — transforms all dualities and characteristics of samsara and nirvana into the originally liberated three-kaya state. The all-pervasive lord, the embodiment of the mandala of all buddha families is Vajrakumara and his consort, who is none other than one’s own awareness. To recognize this through undistracted mindfulness is to reveal the reverence of one’s deepest heart. ~ Khenchen Palden Sherab Rinpoche, introductory prayers from The Dark Red Amulet
