Buddhabrot deeply iterated

The Buddhabrot is a special rendering of the Mandelbrot set, which resembles, to some extent, certain depictions of the Buddha. Mathematically, the set consists of the set of points c in the complex number plane for which the iteratively defined sequence

z_{n+1} = {z_n}^2 + c

with z0 = 0 does not tend to infinity.
