Lawless Officials of Qinglong County, Hebei Province Hire People to Pose as Practitioners and Defame Dafa on TV
2003-3-13 (Clearwisdom.net) Shortly before the Spring Festival, the Qinglong County
Public Security Bureau of Hebei Province, local 610 Office, and other township
governments recruited two dozen people to distort, defame, and attack Falun Dafa
on TV. Many of them have never practiced Falun Gong before. For 50 Yuan [Chinese
currency, an average urban worker's wage is 500 Yuan per month] and with
their travel expenses covered, the participants were made to commit these
crimes. For example, one man who made his living by gambling said very candidly on TV
that he practiced Falun Gong. Someone named Du San, whose wife died 7 years ago, said that his whole family
practices Falun Gong and that his wife died from the practice. After Du San lied on TV, he rode to a friend's house on his bike but fell
accidentally on the way there. He landed so hard that two of his teeth were
knocked out. Afterwards, his friends said, "Why did you do something so bad?
Isn't this immediate karmic retribution?" [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 retribution.] |
