Generate renunciation first, and then Bodhicitta Only after generating renunciation, will one think of how to save others from the mire or the house on fire. Without a true and strong aspiration to escape from samsara, how can one think of saving others? For a beginner Bodhisattva, it’s essential to first generate renunciation and then Bodhicitta. This sequence can’t be surpassed.

Squeee! 🤗💖

Video by @Jim_Abernethy // The affectionate side of sharks is something that the world doesn't believe possible, yet I teach my guests how to do this on every single trip and have success daily! Here you see me rubbing the lemon shark affectionately, the same that anyone would do with their dog! Although many of the lemon sharks have never had this before, they are definitely sentient creatures like dogs and come back to their new human friends repeatedly to get more shark love...affection! I use this new trusting relationship to get close enough to remove their hooks, which I started in 2002 and have removed 100's of hooks so far. I wish the 99% of the human population on planet Earth could actually see this, to dispel the most misunderstood creature on the planet...sharks, so please tag your friends and share this! As Jacques Cousteau said "We only protect what we love! " I love sharks! Do you love sharks? They are quite simply not mindless man eating monsters that they are so often projected as! As a hardcore shark conservationist this misconception is the hardest obstacle to overcome! Join me aboard our shark expedition vessel Shear Water to experience this life changing encounter yourselves! DM me your email address to get more information about my shark expeditions! Please visit the link in my bio to help save our sharks and other wildlife! @jim_abernethy @wildlifevoiceinc @sealegacy #sharklove #sharkaffection #OTS #savesharks #finbannow #nofinfl #coexist #peaceful #shark #diving #scuba #sentientbeings #bahamas #wildlife #nature #ocean #bethechange #turnthetide #protectwhatyoulove (at Tiger Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/CU-JK0LAPXT/?utm_medium=tumblr
