(Minghui.org) Stories of people receiving retribution for persecuting Falun Gong practitioners have been heard lately. However, it is rare that benefits and retribution happen to the same person.

Li, a former village elementary school teacher, is a resident of Gulin County, Sichuan Province. His wife practices Falun Gong.

After the nationwide suppression of Falun Gong started in July 1999, Li was deceived by the overwhelming slanderous propaganda and repeatedly attempted to prevent his wife from practicing Falun Gong. Although his wife talked to him about the practice, he wouldn't listen and said disrespectful words against the founder of Falun Gong, called Master by practitioners, and the practice.

Li was ready to tear up Master's photo in 2008, and his wife tried to stop him and warned that he would receive retribution. He would not listen and tore up the photo.

Shortly afterwards, Li fell and hurt his back. The pain was unbearable and no treatment was effective. Because of the excruciating pain, Li begged his wife to tell the founder of Falun Gong that he had been wrong and he dared not to do anything harmful to the practice going forward.

Could Master help relieve his pain? His wife said he had to admit his wrongdoings from the bottom of his heart. She asked him why he had not listened and believe in retribution. He said he believed it now and is very clear that he did wrong.

After Li sincerely admitted his mistakes, his back no longer hurt. He was really amazed and said, “It's so effective!”

From then on, Li not only supported his wife's cultivation, but also carries a Falun Gong amulet on him and recites “Falun Gong is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”

One day he was a passenger in a police car, which overturned and rolled for a few meters before it came to a halt.

After he stepped out of the car he saw that no one had a major injury. He took the Falun Gong amulet out of his pocket and said, “Were it not for the protection of this amulet, it's hard to imagine how bad the accident would have turned out.”

He told everyone, to remember that Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good and recite it when one faces danger.

After that accident Li asked his wife for some Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party books and Falun Gong informational materials to place in his store.

When I pass by his store, I notice that his business is doing well.
