(Clearwisdom.net) Editors' note: In both Western and Chinese cultures, 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 acts that are in harmony with this principle, while doing things 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.

Director of the Donggang City Court in Liaoning Province Receives Karmic Retribution

In his pursuit of money and social status, Wei Diandong, the director of the Donggang City Court in Liaoning Province, sent four practitioners to prison to serve long sentences. When he was presiding over the cases involving practitioners, they tried to clarify the truth to him. Not only did he not want to listen, but he said rudely, "You cannot win your case no matter where you try to appeal." He thought that, as long as he listened to the Chinese Communist Party, nobody could touch him.

Since this incident, Wei Diandong has developed intestinal cancer. It is causing his family great hardship.
