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.

The Heart of Prajñāpāramitā Visualization

This project presents the Heart of Prajñāpāramitā with an interactive visualization that maps key Buddhist concepts and their relationships.

Features

  • Elegant presentation of the Heart of Prajñāpāramitā text
  • Interactive force-directed graph of Buddhist concepts
  • Color-coded concept grouping by category
  • Hover tooltips for term explanations
  • Responsive design that works on various screen sizes

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:

  1. Wisdom concepts (orange): Prajñāpāramitā, Śūnyatā, Form, Emptiness
  2. Suffering concepts (yellow): Skandhas, Dukkha, Four Noble Truths
  3. Enlightenment concepts (teal): Bodhicitta, Bodhi, Nirvana, Tathāgatagarbha
  4. Obstacles/Poisons (red): Triviṣa, Trishna, Dvesha, Moha
  5. Causality (blue): Karma

The strength of connections between concepts is represented by line thickness, and users can interact with the visualization to explore relationships between concepts.

How to Use

  1. Read through the Heart of Prajñāpāramitā text to understand the context
  2. Explore the concept map by dragging nodes to different positions
  3. Hover over concepts to see their definitions
  4. Observe how different Buddhist concepts relate to each other
