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.
