The full name of Medicine Buddha in Sanskrit is Bhaişajya guru vaidūrya prabhārāja. Some people also call him Da Yi Wang Buddha, or Medicine Master Buddha who dispels calamities and lengthens life. He is the dignitary hierarch of the oriental pure land. According to the Buddhist legends, Medicine Buddha has made twelve great vows, all of which are there to fulfill sentient beings’ aspirations, take away people’s sufferings and cure all diseases, when he was practicing Buddha’s teaching. Although quite different from the Buddhism ideas which advocate that people live in hell and be buried in paradise, his thoughts of making people live happy and healthy are in consistent with contemporary life pursuit.
BSAZ is founded to implement Medicine Buddha’s great visions of benefiting mankind and saving lives. Deeply rooted in life science research, we regard three principles of Goodness (being charitable, doing good and becoming well-doers) as each employee’s code of conduct. The Chinese name of our company “Bai Shan Sheng” also illustrates the original intention of our founders. Bai means respect. It shows that we are willing to treat everyone with a kindly soul; Shan stands for goodness. BSAZ promises to be sincere and honest in every communication; Sheng represents brightness. There is certainly a long way to go for the company development, but each member of BSAZ will fight for the bright future together.
Just like the twelve great vows Medicine Buddha has, the founders of BSAZ also have twelve common aspirations in the beginning of startup.

For a company which is in its initial stage, the formation of its culture and values is not something happens overnight. They will be adjusted with the development of the company. The eight chapters of BSAZ are the direct expression of company culture and values at present.
Volume I
Chapter One: Yuan (Vision)
BSAZ regards “exploring the mysteries of life and understanding the essence of nature” as the starting point of the enterprise; regards “relieving all beings sufferings by creating good medicines” as its social responsibilities; regards “cherishing life and improving life quality” as the ultimate goal of vitalizing the enterprise. Great wishes are contained in the main road on which thousands of miles journey can be expected. This is the common pursuit of all BSAZ colleagues in our careers.
Chapter Two: Rong (Inclusiveness)
BSAZ welcomes those entrepreneurs from all over the world who get together for their common beliefs and pursuits, fully understands and respects the religious belief and customs of each colleague. We are trying our best to create multicultural coexisting working environment and cultural atmosphere. Inclusiveness stimulates trust, and trust will then help to reach a consensus which leads to synergy.
Chapter Three: Cheng (Integrity)
As saying goes: a man is only as good as his word. BSAZ advocates taking integrity as its management idea, respects honesty, sincerity work and integrity management. BSAZ makes friends with people all over the world sincerely, and will fulfill its social responsibilities to become a real integrity enterprise in the industry.
Chapter Four: Shan (Goodness)
It is the foundation of social morality and also the core of BSAZ’s culture. BSAZ advocates all the colleagues being charitable, doing good and becoming well-doers. Little good will turn into great love when accumulated. The power gathered by goodness has an extraordinary rallying point, and it is the aspirations of people. We can make good medicine only when we have goodness in our mind. Never forget the goodness in people and we will then find the way of saving.
Volume II
Chapter Five: Jing (Meditation)
Still waters run deep. BSAZ appreciates the grace of rational thinking when pleased and calmly facing when failed. No matter it is life or work, we all need to keep calm and cultivate our mind. Learn to be willing to lonely, eliminate distractions and guard against arrogance are the lessons that everyone should know. We will continuously climb to the summit of scientific research, and always grow together with the company.
Chapter Six: Lv (Self-discipline)
Self-discipline is the peak of our practice while heteronomy is only the primary stage of self-discipline. People will gradually become decadent when they don’t strive and become self-indulgent when they don’t restrain themselves. BSAZ will fully respect each colleague’s personality and customs, meanwhile require everyone strictly abide by the rules and regulations. Everyone should strengthen self-discipline, pay equal attention to learn knowledge and cultivate morality, to unite heteronomy and self-discipline together.
Chapter Seven: Shang (Appreciation)
Employees are the most valuable wealth of BSAZ, and the development of BSAZ depends on each colleague’s sweat and effort. Thus enhancing their well-beings must be the most important driving force of the company’s future. BSAZ emphasis on performance management and promises all efforts will be paid off. We draw hearts close by encouragement, collect energy by inspiration.
Chapter Eight: Jie (Obedience)
Abiding by the law and respecting the morality are the footholds of everyone in the world. BSAZ will never escape its responsibilities, and will treat its goals with perseverance, treat temptation with willpower, treat deception with zero tolerance. Since the moral level will decide the height of people’s thinking, we need to be cautious, meticulous and strive to be a noble man.
Yuan, Rong, Cheng, Shan; Jing, Lv, Shang, Jie. Today we’ve sowed the seed of bodhi fruits with a devout heart, and will fertilize it with goodness, sincerity, diligence and hope. After a few years, the seed will grow into a tree which is fruitful and full of branches, so does BSAZ.
