(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 karmic retribution.

A ten-year-old girl told me that an older boy in her neighborhood tore down Falun Dafa signs and thereafter his hands became so itchy and he scratched them so much they were covered with lacerations. She then told him, "This is karmic retribution; if you paste the signs back up you will recover." Taking her advice, he wrote a few signs that told the truth of Dafa and pasted them up at various places. Sure enough, as a result, his hands recovered within two days.

On May 30th, someone reported a woman named Fu from Chongqing City to the authorities while she was clarifying the truth. She was released only one week later. On June 1, Chen Wanrong, one of the persons who reported her to the authorities, suddenly had a high fever and was hospitalized. He was still taking medication and receiving injections one week later. On June 2, Jian Qinxiu, another person who played a part in reporting Fu to the authorities, fell down and broke her hand.

Qidong County Buyunqiao Town Politics and Law Committee Secretary Deng Yun'geng persecuted Falun Dafa practitioners. His father suddenly died a violent death at home in June 2002.

Evil policeman Chang of Jilin City Longtan District Tuchengzi Police Station mistreated Falun Gong practitioners by beating them, arresting them, searching their houses and confiscating their belongings. He even confiscated Falun Dafa books, stopping at no evil. Recently he was diagnosed with lung cancer.
