Persecutors of Falun Dafa Practitioners in China Continue to Receive Karmic Retribution for their Evil Deeds
2003-07-09In both Western and Chinese culture, the principle of karmic retribution, that is, being held ultimately accountable for one's own actions, is widely accepted. 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. -

Righteous Thoughts Helped Me Walk Through Danger Many Times
2003-07-06One day after supper, I thought I should escape from this hell on earth. That night at 1:00 a.m., it was raining lightly outside, and the guards were sleeping. I went to the second floor and jumped out. At that moment, fear appeared in my mind, which caused a problem that should not have happened. My cervical vertebra jammed into my neck and my head could not move. My lumbar vertebra was broken and out of place, and I could not move my body. In that situation, a miracle happened, my head became moveable and I stood up by supporting my body with my hands. Walking and crawling, I escaped from that place. -

The Yardstick in One's Heart
2003-07-05Why do people reach different conclusions for the same event? It is because people lack benevolence. They always see other peoples' bad side and seldom see their good side. But Dafa practitioners, who cultivate benevolence, always have compassion in their hearts, and always use their eyes of wisdom and heart of benevolence to discover other peoples' good sides. So they arrive at different conclusions. -

Remember to "Do But Pursue Not, Constantly Dwelling In the Dao"
2003-06-22In relation to the lawsuit against the evil head and "610 Office," we have yet to meet the requirement for a "large-scale, comprehensive, and detailed clarification of the truth." At the same time, there are many other things in Fa rectification that need to be completed in an orderly fashion, and which can only be carried out by Dafa practitioners. Let us all keep Teacher's words in mind: "Do but pursue not, constantly dwelling in the Dao" (Hongyin -- in the Dao). -
