Some Cases of Karmic Retribution

(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 compassionate reminder 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.

Wang Shibo Receives Karmic Retribution

Wang Shibo, male, 42, lived in Chenyang City (Ciyutuo in Liaozgong County). His wife practiced Falun Gong, but he was against it and interfered with her practice. His wife went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong and was arrested. Later she was sent to Longshan and Masanjia Forced Labor Camps in Shenyang and received cruel persecution in both mind and body. She couldn't withstand the cruelty and compromised with the evil. When Wang heard his wife had given up Falun Gong practice, he sent a silk banner [a colorful silk banner which is given to the winner of contests or to show appreciation] to the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp to express his appreciation.

Then, in the first half of 2003, Wang suddenly died. This example should forewarn people to treat Falun Gong righteously and to treat Falun Gong practitioners with kindness.

He intruded into homes of Falun Gong practitioners and forced them to sign guarantee statements*. If practitioners refused to write the statement, he would write them himself in order to get credit from his superiors. Afterwards, he would make practitioners squat over the latrine pit.

Several Policemen Who Persecute Dafa Practitioners Die at the Peak of SARS

I am a public security cadre in Beijing. After I read Zhuan Falun in 1998, several of my illnesses disappeared in less than twenty days. Dafa left me with an unforgettable impression. When I first began, I had urgently gotten in touch with Dafa practitioners and obtained some of Master Li's new books; I couldn't wait to read them. I am gratified for what Dafa has done for me. Every time I carried out my duty to arrest Dafa practitioners, I always provided them opportunities to escape safely. I also stored the confiscated Dafa books and returned them to practitioners when opportunity permitted. During the peak of SARS, several of my colleagues who had persecuted Dafa practitioners were afflicted with the disease and died a few days later. Some of their family members also died. My family and I were unaffected. I know this was because of my kind treatment of Dafa practitioners.
