Practice is to get rid of habitual patterns
Practice is actually to eradicate karma, so patriarchs and great masters put it simple: Practice is nothing but eradicating habitual patterns and karma. Habitual pattern is karma. If your habitual patterns diminish, you succeed. Without habitual pattern, you are a great master. The Bodhisattva vows are endless and completely selfless, and therefore are not karma - just benefit sentient beings without greed, hatred, ignorance, doubt and arrogance. This is where we should work hard.
That moment when you have the Mr. Beast YouTube extension, are too lazy to uninstall it in the wake of the drama, and you don't read the video title, so you think there is new information in the Mr. Beast drama:
Meat is Murder. The act of slaughtering innocent animal-people not only constitutes a moral transgression against God's Law but also reflects a grave injustice in our world. Choosing a vegan lifestyle is not just a dietary preference; it's a conscientious decision to align with compassion, sustainability, and ethical values.
By adopting a vegan lifestyle, we refuse to participate in the needless suffering and killing of sentient beings. We recognize that animals possess the capacity to feel pain, fear, and joy, just like us. It's a compassionate choice that demonstrates our respect for all life on this planet.
Moreover, going vegan is a powerful way to address pressing global issues. The meat industry is a significant contributor to climate change, deforestation, and resource depletion. It's a leading cause of environmental destruction. By reducing our consumption of animal products, we can significantly reduce our carbon footprint and help preserve our planet for future generations.

Hi! I’d love some one shot and modern AU daemon / daemyra fic recs! Thank you!
You got it hun. All of these are Modern AUs, some one shots, other multi parters but all completed :3
Guilty Pleasures by AmazingAngie (or anything by this author, really) - Daemon is a pilot, Rhaenyra is a flight attendant, need I say more??? Great work.
Petrichor by sweetestsorrows - loved this one, takes place across multiple years and the tension is amazing.
I'll be there (at six) by sentientbeings - in this one Daemyra aren't blood related but it is still forbidden and angsty, loved it.
This one isn't done yet but too good to leave out, also I'm sure everyone already knows about it, but if not... -> honey on the sheets by sixofbows. Chef's kiss, words do not do it justice.
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.
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!
