About Desmond Wong

Desmond Wong graduated from Fo Guang Shan Tsung Lin University and has studied under Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche since 2005. He furthered his training at Buddhist colleges in Nepal, engaging in philosophy, dialectics, and extended retreats that deepened his realisation of the mind's clarity and the vastness of emptiness. As a pioneer carrying an authentic singing bowl therapy, he inherited the tradition from Master Shree Krishna Shahi, with shamanic family roots, and integrated the practice lineage of Thrangu Monastery of the Karma Kagyu tradition.

He established Malaysia's first singing bowl therapy course, officially certified by Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). In his teaching, Desmond blends technique with meditation and mindfulness, guiding learners to rediscover the nature of their own mind.

For him, sound is more than therapeutic—it is a gateway to awareness. He candidly shared that when he first confronted his own anger, the emotion dissolved in an instant. This defining experience continues to shape his work in leading others into awareness and healing. Today, as the resonance of the singing bowl unfolds, so too does a journey of returning to the heart.
