This interactive visualization presents the core teachings of Buddha through an animated spiritual landscape. It features a rotating Dharma Wheel symbolizing the Eightfold Path, with the Four Noble Truths displayed in expandable panels and Buddha quotes cycling across the screen. The piece uses D3.js v7 to render SVG elements, including meditation ripple circles animated with d3.transition, floating lotus and leaf emoji for atmospheric effect, and responsive gradient backgrounds. Users can interact with the visualization by hovering over path elements for descriptions or clicking the Buddha figure to enter meditation mode, which alters animation intensity.

Fork of Fork of The Teachings of the Buddha 2

An interactive visualization presents the core concepts of Buddhism, including the Dharma wheel, the Noble Eightfold Path, the Four Noble Truths, and floating lotus flowers. The SVG scene uses D3.js v7 to construct the elements, with the Dharma wheel rotating through `transition.attrTween`. The eightfold path is shown as a radial layout with labeled circles, while a gradient background and meditation ripple animations add a serene atmosphere. The visualization is built from the HTML and CSS files, with an emoji-based Buddha figure.

The Teachings of the Buddha

An animated SVG composition presents the Dharma wheel and the Noble Eightfold Path as the core visual metaphors. The central Dharma wheel rotates continuously, with eight spokes symbolizing the path’s elements arranged in a circular diagram with connecting dashed lines. Floating lotus emojis, leaves, and ripple effects are referenced in the styling, while rotating text fades in and out. Built with D3.js v7, the piece uses `transition.attrTween` for the wheel’s rotation and appends SVG shapes programmatically, drawing from a static dataset of path names and quotes hardcoded in the script.

Fork of The Teachings of the Buddha 2

This visualization explores the Bodhichitta teachings of Buddhism, centered on a pulsing heart symbol and surrounded by nodes for the Two Types of Bodhichitta and other related concepts. It uses D3.js v7 to build an SVG scene with d3 transitions for animations, including a heart pulse, floating lotus flowers, jewels, and meditation ripple effects. The design features a gradient background and color scheme representing compassion and wisdom, with quotes changing periodically. Data is drawn from Buddhist teachings on Bodhichitta, visualized through emoji-based graphics and custom SVG shapes.

Different teachings together connected

This interactive visualization of Buddha’s teachings offers three linked views: concentric onion layers, a force-directed relationship network, and a sunburst component breakdown. Users explore concepts like the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path through tabs and clickable elements. The code uses D3 v7 APIs including `d3.forceSimulation` for the network, `d3.hierarchy` and `d3.partition` for the sunburst, and SVG with CSS transitions for animated tab switching and hover effects. Data is embedded directly in the script.
