You can use the truncate() filter. You can send to it as argument the number of characters you want to show in your template:
{{ post.body_html | truncate(40) | safe }}
Obviously you can code a function (in your python file) which detects the first paragraph, counts the number of characters and send this number (that it returns) to your truncate() filter in your template.
