(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.

To validate Falun Dafa, to clarify the truth and save all sentient beings, we occasionally publish incidences of karmic retribution that have happened to those who persecute Falun Gong. We do this to help more people understand the truth of the persecution and thus awaken them and encourage people to stand up and stop the persecution and promote justice. The incidents reported here are a sampling of those in China's Chongqing area.

Postscript -

Justice will prevail. Good will be rewarded and evil will meet with retribution. In the face of six years of brutal persecution in China, Falun Dafa has been well received throughout the world and the number of practitioners is growing. Falun Dafa is now practiced in more than 70 countries and regions and it is estimated that more than 100 million people are practicing it worldwide. The book, Zhuan Falun has been translated into 25 languages. Falun Gong has received more than 2,547 awards and proclamations worldwide, and Falun Gong's founder, Mr. Li Hongzhi, has been nominated for the Nobel peace prize four times in a row. Falun Gong practitioners have initiated lawsuits against Jiang Zemin and other leaders of the CCP for their crimes in the persecution. At present, thirty-five lawyers around the world are representing practitioners in a number of lawsuits.

We firmly believe that as more people awaken and learn the truth, people and nations will stand together and resist the persecution. The day draws nearer when the persecution will end, Jiang and his followers will be brought to justice and the CCP will disintegrate.
