(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 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 karmic retribution.

Some practitioners from Lincheng of Hebei Province were illegally arrested after they went to Beijing to appeal. The local police department in Lincheng was notified to send escorts to bring back the Dafa practitioners from Beijing. On their way back to Lincheng, the police vehicle crashed, causing severe injury to four policemen. They had broken arms, broken ribs, and their heads were bleeding. However, they were surprised to see that the Falun Gong practitioners weren't hurt at all. The practitioners told them that they did not get hurt because they were doing the most righteous deed of clarifying the truth and offering salvation to people. On the other hand, because the policemen persecuted Dafa practitioners they would definitely receive karmic retribution. This is truly a heavenly principle.

Soon after this incident, the Lincheng police experienced another car accident when they went to Beijing to escort Dafa practitioners. All of the policemen in Lincheng were struck with horror and not one of them dared to go to Beijing to escort Dafa practitioners after that.

All of the policemen who had persecuted Falun Gong practitioners have received karmic retribution. Some of them became severely ill or their relatives received karmic retribution instead of them. Now none of them wants to be in charge of work related to Falun Gong. They all know now that Falun Gong practitioners are good people who should not be persecuted. The position of coordinator for Falun Gong work has experienced four turnovers. Each person in that position tried to find various excuses to get out of it. Since people have learned the principle of "Good is rewarded with good and evil is met with evil" and they know that Falun Dafa is good, nobody wants to meet with tribulations by ignorantly persecuting Falun Dafa.

A Wakeup Call

On the afternoon of July 19, a car that was driven from Liuan en route to Hefei, Anhui Province, collided with a truck at a highway intersection. The car was completely destroyed but after rescue efforts, the driver was found alive. However, all four passengers died on impact. One of them was an editor of a major newspaper in the province, who had published many articles slandering Falun Dafa. His relatives said that his death was not accidental.

A Moment's Error Leads to a Lifetime of Regret--A Former Practitioner Who Enlightened Along an Evil Path Received Karmic Retribution

Quan Xiuhong, female, 58, lived in the village of Tongtuying in the township of Hesuijing, in the city of Xinji, in Hebei Province. Before practicing Falun Dafa, she experienced severe pain in her legs, which required several surgical operations. Her doctors finally recommended that her leg be amputated. But after she practiced Falun Dafa, she was completely cured of her leg pains as well as of other ailments without any medication.

Quan Xiuhong was forced by the township government to attend brainwashing classes in the end of 2001. She enlightened along an evil path in the brainwashing center and afterwards started to debate with other practitioners. She also maintained contact with the brainwashing center after she was released. In Lunar Calendar April 28 of 2002, Quan Xiuhong had a recurrence of the disease of her leg and had to have an operation at the First Hospital of Xinji City to have her left leg amputated from her knee down.

More Examples of Karmic Retribution

Chi Hongrui, the chief of the in Xiwudang Village of the town of Chengguan in the city of Zhaoyuan in Shandong Province, had persecuted Falun Dafa and destroyed Falun Dafa materials and has recently received karmic retribution. He is not able to keep his tongue in his mouth when he talks. He is also now suffering from muscular dystrophy. In addition, his older brother has received karmic retribution for working against Falun Gong. His brother was involved in a car accident in which his legs were broken.

Several Actual Situations That We Witnessed

1. A section chief always detained the Falun Dafa practitioner in his work unit whenever a holiday was coming such as Labor Day, National Day or Spring Festival. He has also forced this practitioner to rebuke Teacher, but the practitioner refused to do so and later quit his job. Within a month, the section chief received karmic retribution: he was fired for making too many mistakes while on duty.

2. A middle-aged man saw his colleagues reading Falun Dafa truth-clarifying literature and criticized the Falun Dafa practitioners who had distributed the literature. He received karmic retribution on the following day. He was hit in the face by a machine part and had to get several stitches. He was later advised to read the truth-clarifying materials. After he understood the truth, he no longer persecuted Falun Dafa.

3. A middle-aged man received karmic retribution on the very same day that he slandered Falun Dafa. He had an accident in which his hand was seriously cut and bled profusely. After he read the truth-clarifying materials, he no longer dared to slander Dafa.

One Case of Karmic Retribution in This Lifetime

Wang Ying, around 30, male, head of the Nanhe County Police Department of the city of Xingtai in Hebei Province closely followed Jiang's regime in persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners after July 20, 1999. He has ordered vicious policemen to confiscate Dafa practitioners' homes and torture practitioners. He has sent seven practitioners to forced labor camps and has sent four practitioners to brainwashing centers in Ren County. Two practitioners were forced into being homeless. In September of 2001 (lunar calendar), Wang Ying had a car accident on his way to the township of Ping. Three of his vertebrae were broken and so far he is still not able to work.

It is a heavenly principle that "Good is rewarded with good and evil is met with evil." We hope the people of the world are able to awaken soon, clearly see the truth, be compassionate towards Falun Dafa practitioners, and choose a good future.
