The Source of Funding for Dafa Truth-Clarification Materials
By a practitioner in China (Clearwisdom.net) One day, posters and other Dafa materials were
posted in the residential area adjacent to a city police department. Local
residents chatted about the incident. One lady said, "We receive Dafa
materials periodically. Falun Gong has a lot of money, there must be some
organization funding them." One elderly lady, who was a Falun Gong
practitioner, replied, "No one gives money to Falun Gong. The practitioners
contribute their own money to produce those flyers, in order to tell people the
truth so that people will know what's right and what's wrong." While the first lady remained doubtful, a retired police officer shared his
experience. "My niece, who used to live in Shijiazhuang City, is a Falun Gong
practitioner. She donated her money to make flyers. She even bought a copier out
of her own pocket. After the persecution began, my niece spent several hundred
thousand yuan from her own bank account on printers and copiers [500 yuan is
equal to the average monthly salary of an urban worker in China]. Later, the equipment was confiscated by the police. She started all over
again by purchasing new machines and found another place to start up the
printing work. Recently, she told me how the government has framed Falun Gong.
The practitioners are all good people, and not one of them would commit suicide
or kill someone. I knew that Dafa practitioners are good people and they used to
live comfortable, normal lives. Now, they are persecuted so unfairly that they
have lost their jobs and homes. Once, my niece wanted to borrow some money from
me. I told her to give up Falun Gong before I would consider lending her money.
As a result, she left with empty hands and tears in her eyes." While he was
talking, his eyes filled with tears and he wept with regret. He said, "Now
I want to give money to her, but I don't even know where she is." Several
people were listening, including the lady who had doubts on the issue of money.
Everyone there learned the truth about where the money for truth clarification
materials comes from. |
