(Clearwisdom.net) Editors' Note: In both Western and Chinese culture, the principle of karmic retribution, that is, being held ultimately accountable for one's own actions, is widely accepted. The fundamental teaching of Falun Gong is the characteristic of the universe, "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." The universe will reward actions that are in harmony with this principle, while actions such as beating, torturing and murdering people will incur karmic retribution. Stated another way, good deeds will be rewarded with good, while evildoings will meet due retribution. Articles such as this one are meant as a compassionateáreminder of this principle to those who would commit wrongdoing. While many of those who persecute Falun Gong are merely "following orders," the universal law requires that they, too, be held responsible for their actions, and that only by reversing their course of wrongdoing may they escape retribution.

The Supervisor of Wanjia Forced Labor Camp Receives Retribution

Shi Baiyin, the supervisor of Wanjia Forced Labor Camp in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, is badly sick. He gets severe headaches and no hospital can properly diagnose his illness. He is now in Shanghai for treatment. Since he is known to be cruel in his persecution of Falun Gong practitioners, people who know him have said he that he must have received karmic retribution.

Slandering Dafa Is Punished by Heaven

Du Baoqing, who works for Shenfei Company in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, wrote much slanderous material against Dafa. In early November, he was in a car accident and cracked his skull in many places. Surgery was performed, but he is in a coma and is being treated in the hospital.

This could have been avoided. It was Jiang's malicious slander that manipulated people who cannot tell good from evil to think poorly of Dafa and deceived many with no sense of justice into persecuting Dafa. However, the concept of good meets with good and evil meets with evil is a heavenly principle. We hope people can learn from these lessons and not be misled to act against their consciences.

Defaming Buddha Fa Receives Karmic Retribution

Niu Hongchen, a 26-year-old staff member of Jinshan Electrical Appliance Company of Sanhe City, Hebei Province, continually criticized Dafa while a practitioner was clarifying the true situation. The practitioner tried to reason with him, but he wouldn't listen. Even worse, he chased the practitioner away with curses. A few days later, he was diagnosed with an incurable blood disease. We hope people will learn from this lesson. For yourself and for your family, you shouldn't commit crimes against heaven by slandering the Buddha Fa.
