Jim starts by explaining his micro-yoga routine, if it can be called a routine. Once we dispose of this ridiculousness, we return to Donald S. Lopez's book Buddhism: A Journey Through History, having read a little further. We decide that it lacks a lot of what we want in a history of anything, which is an perspective on how the practice effected the lives of people under it's sway. We felt a little let down by the strict recounting of conflicts between the various schools without a view into what the differences in those schools represented. This draws to a close our discussion of Lopez's book, but our exploration into Buddhism may return later from a different perspective.
