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.

In the beginning, meditative awareness is like a small flame, which can easily be extinguished and needs to be protected and nurtured. Later, it is more like a huge bonfire, which consumes whatever falls into it….Then the more thoughts that arise, the more awareness blazes up, like adding logs to a bonfire!Emaho!Everything is food for naked enlightened awareness!-  Jigme Lingpa
