(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.

1. Wen Jianping was specifically assigned to persecuting Falun Gong in Jingguan Town, Beipei District. He illegally fined one Falun Dafa practitioner 5,000 Yuan for appealing in Beijing in February 2000. Although the practitioner's son paid the fine, Wen still forced the Falun Dafa disciple to attend a brainwashing session. When Wen tried to force Falun Dafa disciples to curse Dafa, he felt severe stomach pain and was taken to the hospital. After two operations, Wen Jianping remains very weak, and was demoted at work.

Whoever supports Falun Dafa or treats Dafa disciples with respect will be rewarded with virtue. To treasure Falun Dafa is to treasure your own life.
