The Six Pāramitās Visualization is an interactive gallery that presents the six Buddhist perfections—Generosity, Ethics, Patience, Energy, Meditation, and Wisdom—as individual text cards arranged in a circular layout. The visualization uses plain JavaScript and the DOM API to position each card absolutely within a container, calculating coordinates with trigonometric functions. Navigation is handled through custom Previous and Next buttons, as well as keyboard arrow key listeners, which toggle a CSS `visible` class to fade cards in and out. The currently selected Pāramitā is highlighted at the center of the circle, with its subtitle displayed prominently.

The Six Pāramitās Visualization

This is an interactive visualization of the Six Pāramitās from Buddhist teachings.

About the Pāramitās

  1. Dāna Pāramitā – Generosity The practice of giving without attachment. This includes giving material things, time, protection, and most importantly — the Dhamma.

  2. Śīla Pāramitā – Ethics / Morality Living a life of integrity through virtuous conduct, following precepts, and acting with compassion toward all beings.

  3. Kṣānti Pāramitā – Patience The strength to face hardship, insult, or delay without anger or fear. Patience is rooted in humility and understanding.

  4. Vīrya Pāramitā – Energy / Diligence Joyful effort on the path — staying committed, energized, and enthusiastic in spiritual practice.

  5. Dhyāna Pāramitā – Meditation Cultivating focused attention and mental stillness through meditative absorption. A calm, concentrated mind sees clearly.

  6. Prajñā Pāramitā – Wisdom The highest perfection: insight into the nature of reality, especially emptiness (śūnyatā) and non-self. This is the wisdom that liberates.
