There are not many anime that directly combine Buddha stories and spider stories. But in some anime with Buddhist elements, like 'Rurouni Kenshin'.

Well, there's the story of the Buddha and the hungry tigress. The Buddha in one of his past lives was a prince. He came across a starving tigress with her cubs.
