    Alan Muller is one of our hidden South African Buddhist treasures. He took vows for some time as a Buddhist Monk, and did a year’s retreat at Samye Ling in Scotland. He now conducts retreats at the Tara Rokpa Retreat Centre in the Groot Marico. He has much experience and wisdom to share in his quiet, humble and compassionate manner.<\/span><\/h4>\n
