This visualization depicts the Buddhist concept of the five skandhas—form, sensation, perception, mental formations, and consciousness—as concentric arcs surrounding a central "No Fixed Self" node. Built with D3.js, the page uses pie-chart arcs, SVG paths, and a dynamic legend to display the aggregates. Hovering over any arc or legend item triggers a tooltip with the skandha's name and description, while the center node explains the core teaching of anatta.

Five Skandhas Visualization

This visualization demonstrates the Buddhist concept of the five skandhas (aggregates) - the components that constitute human existence according to Buddhist philosophy.

The skandhas are:

  1. Rūpa (Form) - Physical matter and the body
  2. Vedanā (Sensation) - Feelings from sensory contact
  3. Saññā (Perception) - Recognizing and labeling sense data
  4. Saṅkhāra (Mental Formations) - Volitions, habits, and mental constructs
  5. Viññāṇa (Consciousness) - Awareness through six senses

The center represents "No Fixed Self" (Anatta) - the Buddhist teaching that there is no permanent, unchanging self.

How to Run

  1. Open index.html in a web browser
  2. Hover over the skandha elements to see interactive effects
