Create a singlepage mindmap visually representing a Buddhist concept and demonstrating its modern relevance.

• The Buddhist concept I’d like to focus on is: Craving and the Problem of Being (Can be found on Lecture 6), and linking its connections to modern relevance/applications or contemporary life.
• As this course is about Buddhist psychology and mental cultivation, it’d be nice if you could also include elements of the Psychological Dynamics such as dissatisfactions, repulsions, escape, and etc.
• I’d like the mindmap to be visually and aesthetically appealing.
