Reminds me of a remarkable book I read eons ago called The Tao of Physics which quite successfully united findings in subatomic physics and quantum theory to tenets of Eastern thought and mysticism.

The fractal Buddha is a perfect metaphor for a section of the book that discusses the cosmic background radiation leftover from the big bang and the Dance of Shiva.

According to Amazon, the book (published in '75) still has a cult following.
