Fork of Fork of The Noble Eightfold Path: The Buddha’s Guide to Liberation
An interactive visualization of the Lotus Sutra displays its 28 chapters as a horizontal tree diagram, categorized into three main parts. The background features an animated, interactive Dharma wheel with spokes, hub, and lotus petals, each providing explanatory tooltips on hover. Built with React and D3.js v7, the visualization uses SVG for rendering, with hover effects on tree nodes that highlight related links and show chapter details. The data, sourced from the README, organizes chapters into parts with descriptions and Pali terms.
