What are three methods of measuring memory?

---

Definitions:

Bodhisattva

(Sanskrit.) In Mahayana Buddhism, an enlightened person devoted to the enlightenment of others.

Nirvana

In Buddhism, a transcendent state free from suffering and the cycle of rebirth and death, representing the ultimate spiritual goal.

Karma Yoga

A spiritual path in Hinduism emphasizing selfless action performed for the benefit of others as a way to spiritual liberation.

Detachment

Lack of willfulness or emotional concern. Detachment through ascetic denial (or, failing that, aesthetic contemplation) was proposed by the great pessimist Arthur Schopenhauer as a method of responding to the fact that life is filled with frustration due to our incessant irrational desires. Schopenhauer’s answer is similar to that of the ancient philosophy called Stoicism, which also teaches that most of our passions are irrational and are best ignored through the detachment and commitment to reason.
