The Dancing Wu Li Masters: An Overview of the New Physics (1979).

The Wu Li Master always begins at the center, the heart of the matter. The Wu Li Master does not teach, but the student learns. The Wu Li Master dances with his student. At the conference, it was said that the Chinese term for physics is 'Wu Li', or 'patterns of organic energy.' Zukav, among others, conceptualized 'physics' as the dance of the Wu Li Masters – teachers of physical essence. Zukav participated as a journalist in a 1976 physics conference of eastern and western scientists at Esalen Institute, California and he used the occasion as material for his book. This becomes somewhat of a pun as there are many other Chinese characters that could be rendered as 'wu li' in atonal pinyin, and chapters of the book are each titled with alternative translations of Wu Li, such as 'Nonsense', 'My Way' and 'I Clutch My Ideas'. The toneless pinyin phrase Wu Li in the title is most accurately rendered 物理 in Chinese characters, one Chinese translation of the word 'physics' in the light of the book's subject matter. Although it explores empirical topics in modern physics research, The Dancing Wu Li Masters gained attention for leveraging metaphors taken from eastern spiritual movements, in particular the Huayen school of Buddhism with the monk Fazang's treatise on the Golden Lion, to explain quantum phenomena and has been regarded by some reviewers as a New Age work, although the book is mostly concerned with the work of pioneers in western physics down through the ages.
