(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 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.

1. A villager in Yuzhuang Village of Beiyangji Township in Liaocheng City, Shangdong Province often slanders Falun Gong. This past January he received retribution for his evil deeds and suddenly died from a disease. Within a month afterward, his grandson hanged himself.
2. Team leader Gu Xinying from the Zhongba Female Forced Labor Camp in Guizhou Province often uses underhanded and torturous methods in an attempt to force practitioners to renounce practicing Falun Gong. For her wrongdoings, Gu was forced to undergo an eye operation. Other evil wardens have either contracted rare diseases, had sudden deaths occurring within their families, or have become involved in car accidents.
3. Practitioners from Jiamusi City collected cell phone numbers of the entire city and successfully sent short text messages in order to clarify the truth. The city's police department then used the excuse of investigating a kidnapping case to obtain satellite facilities in order to track the locations of Falun Gong practitioners. On the way back a car accident happened and the deputy director general died immediately.
4. Li Zhiqiang is the chief in the warden section of the Nanmusi Female Forced Labor Camp, who persecutes Falun Gong practitioners. His wife, a nurse at the labor camp, was suddenly diagnosed with a tumour in her womb early this year and was forced to undergo a large-scale operation.
