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.

“Since I have perfected the display-energy to show my own prowess, developed in previous lifetimes, my awareness is freed into the open directions. Thus am I freed from the ravine of expectation or anxiety. Whatever happens, I decide that it is fine. Having broken out of the trap of wishful thinking, I don’t listen to what anyone says. I act with great roomy spontaneity and since appearance dawns as text, I understand everything that occurs to be a key instruction.”
