(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 retribution.

1. There was a county detention center director in Langfang City, Hebei Province, who participated in the persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners during the past several years. In early 2006, he brutally beat Dafa practitioners detained in the detention center. Practitioners told him to stop since these crimes would bring him karmic retribution. He said he did not believe in karmic retribution. Soon afterwards, his career went downhill. Not only did his work run into problems but his colleagues also competed with him. Later his post was terminated and he was transferred to a local police station. By then, he remembered the words practitioners told him, and realized that karmic retribution does exist. He started to regret his bad deeds of persecuting Dafa practitioners.

2. Zhang Huizhu, 49 years old, was the head of Hezhuangzi Village in Niangniangzhuang Town of Zunhua County in Tangshan City, Hebei Province.

In March 2007, his voice suddenly went low and coarse. Tangshan Hospital diagnosed it as throat cancer. Medical experts in Beijing were invited to conduct surgery. Within one month after he returned home, a tumor the size of walnut formed. He thus went to Beijing for another operation. He is currently hospitalized for a third treatment.
