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.

Rigdzin Jigme Lingpa, a great yogi of the Nyingma tradition stated, “Just as in the story of Arya Katayana going to beg for food, I see that the animal which this meat must have come from was our mother in earlier lives. If so, can we eat our own mother’s flesh that was slaughtered by butchers? Imagine how much concern would arise! Therefore, if we concentrate honestly, there is no way we won’t feel compassion for the animal.”
