Sidhartha was a rich prince embedded in the wealth of the palace. He goes out with his charioteer and encounters in turn a sick person, an old person, a corpse and a mendicant. Sidharth's "having" mode is completely undermined. The mendicant is at peace and represents the "being" mode.
sati - remembering a mode you were once in, synonym for "mindfulness"
Sidhartha puts me in mind of the story surrounding the Mark 10:19 commandments. The young man who asks Jesus what he must do to gain eternal life.
One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross and follow me.
training of memory by location - think of subjects as rooms in a mental palace.
works well as a technique, but doesn't describe how memory works.
