This study explores the influence of Weixin Shengjiao's I Ching philosophy on the entrepreneurial process within Taiwan's biomedical industry. By integrating entrepreneurship theory, religious philosophy, business ethics, and the researcher's entrepreneurial experience, this study seeks to construct a comprehensive framework that connects entrepreneurial development with spiritual cultivation and ethical leadership. Drawing upon Holt's four-stage entrepreneurial model, the study examines the pre-startup, startup, early growth, and later growth stages of entrepreneurial development. Through narrative inquiry and literature analysis, the findings reveal that the teachings of Grand Master Hun Yuan and the wisdom of the I Ching provide valuable guidance for entrepreneurial decision-making, organizational governance, leadership development, and sustainable business growth. The study further demonstrates that religious philosophy enhances entrepreneurial resilience, strengthens ethical awareness, and promotes social responsibility. Moreover, integrating Eastern philosophical wisdom with entrepreneurship theory contributes to a more holistic understanding of leadership and management in the biomedical industry. The findings suggest that entrepreneurship should be understood not only as an economic activity but also as a process of self-cultivation, ethical practice, and social contribution.
