Heaven's Anger Declared to All

"When people do not have virtue, natural calamities and man-made disasters will abound. When the earth does not have virtue, everything will wither and fall. When heaven deviates from the Dao, the ground will crack, the sky will collapse, and the whole universe will be empty. When the Fa is right, the universe will be right. Life will flourish, heaven and earth will be stable, and the Fa will exist forever" (Essentials for Further Advancement, "When the Fa is Right").

During the times when people willingly try to be kind to each other and uphold moral values, it was believed that weather would become favorable for the crops. On the contrary, when people treat others with malicious motives and have lost their moral standards, they are conducting themselves against heaven's [law], doing evil and increasing their karma. Then, the heavens will show signs of disorder to warn and even punish people for their evil doing.

In the area of Southern China, including provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan and Fujian, gentle rains would come with the soft breeze to fill the rain-belt in April or May, which is called the pre-high-water season in Southern China. In the past, this season came on time almost every year and any abnormality in this season was considered a sign of a disastrous year.

During the past three years, not only did the gentle rains of the pre-high-water seasons not come, but also for the past 3 years there appeared a serious drought across a wide area. This is the first time this has happened in history.

In April and May of 2000, there was a spring drought across a wide area of Southern China. In the western area of Guangdong Province, the drought was very serious. In some cities, like Maoming City, the situation was the most severe in 50 years. Most of the reservoirs dried up, all the small streams ran dry, and quite a few main streams dried up as well. On the outskirts of Zhanjiang City, Hedi Reservoir had the lowest water level in history for that time of year. It could not irrigate more than 1.2 million mu (1 mu = 0.0667 hectares) of crops. The biggest river in Zhanjiang, Jiuzhou River, even dried up.

Over the entire high-water season of 2001, the rainfall in Guangdong Province was reduced roughly by forty to fifty per cent compared with a normal year. The average volume of water in reservoirs and the water level of rivers was reduced by approximately two fifths, and a few rivers even dried up. This had an impact on the water supply for industry, agriculture and city people's living.

In 2002 the drought was especially serious. There was almost no rain during the high-water season and the temperature was continuously high, which caused a serious spring drought in a wide area of Fujian Province. There were 1.63 million mu of fields influenced by the disastrous drought in Fujian. This was the first time in 50 years that both the temperature was higher than usual and the rainfall was lower than usual over a wide area. Throughout the high-water season, most hydrometric stations or rainfall stations in the province had "nothing" or "next to nothing" to report on official rainfall-records. Many big rivers and branch streams had very low water levels, and many mountain ponds and reservoirs had a low water levels or even dried up. In eastern and western Guangdong Province, serious drought made it impossible for 20 to 30 per cent of the rice fields to be ready for the transplantation of rice seedlings.

These very rare and unusual weather phenomena three years in a row may be to remind kind people of the fact that these three years have been a period of time when Falun Dafa and tens of millions of Falun Dafa practitioners have been severely persecuted in China. Especially since the beginning of this year, almost every day, some Falun Dafa practitioners, who believe in "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance," have been tortured to death; the death count is at least 430 as of today. Furthermore, tens of thousands of Falun Dafa practitioners are still being held in jails and who knows how many are being tortured? Their lives are in extreme danger. Slandering the Buddha Law and persecuting innocent people will certainly incur warnings and punishment from Heaven. All kind people may realize and understand the principle of "good will be rewarded with good, and evil with evil," which is upheld by the compassion of heaven. Let's together put an end to the evildoing as soon as possible and bring a bright and prosperous future to all.
