This visualization presents the Heart of Prajñāpāramitā with an interactive force-directed graph of key Buddhist concepts, colored by category and connected by weighted links. The D3.js visualization uses `d3.forceSimulation` with link, many-body, center, and collision forces to position nodes, with link thickness representing relationship strength. Concept definitions appear in a tooltip on hover. The surrounding page pairs the Sanskrit text with terminology cards, though the visualization itself derives from a hardcoded dataset of 16 concepts and 15 relationships.

Visualization Details
The concept map uses D3.js to create a force-directed graph that demonstrates the interconnected nature of key Buddhist terms. The visualization highlights five main categories:
- Wisdom concepts (orange): Prajñāpāramitā, Śūnyatā, Form, Emptiness
- Suffering concepts (yellow): Skandhas, Dukkha, Four Noble Truths
