The Jewel in the Lotus (album)

The Jewel in the Lotus is the debut album by jazz woodwind player Bennie Maupin, recorded and released in 1974. In 2011, Ricardo Villalobos and Max Loderbauer used samples of The Jewel in the Lotus as the basis for the track "Rensenada" on the remix album Re:ECM. The title is a translation of the Buddhist mantra Om mani padme hum.[4]
