In classic Who, the TARDIS was always written as being too unreliable for those short hops, always overshooting by a few parsecs and a couple of thousand years. Otherwise it takes all the drama and peril out of the story. (There were some exceptions of course.)

Third Doctor era, especially in the second half. His last story is partially set in a monastery and has strong Buddhist overtones. There's also Kinda, part of the fifth Doctor's first season, which has a lot of Buddhism scattered into the story.

I'm up to Battlefield in my long rewatch, and I'm shocked at how much worse it is than I remember. I didn't mind it before but now I'm finding your likening of it to Downtime wincingly apt. Some of the performances, most notably of the regulars, are embarrassing.
