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.

….there is a pith instruction that is given by Jigme Lingpa and that is  ‘When one has faith and devotion to the root guru from the bottom of one’s heart, that itself is awareness.’ And on the basis of one’s devotion to the guru, which is nothing other than awareness, one can begin to experience the inseparability of one’s own mind, the guru’s mind and the minds of all the Buddhas. And so I find that this pith instruction makes the point more accessible. ~ Garchen Rinpoche
