(Clearwisdom.net) I have found in my truth clarification that many ordinary people from Mainland China, including those who learned the truth in Hong Kong or other parts of the world, think that we make money from our truth clarification efforts. This tells us how wicked the Chinese Communist Party's propaganda is. In addition, it shows that in a CCP-controlled society, where the moral standard slips every day, people increasingly doubt that the world still has cultivators who do things solely for the good of others.
However, these Chinese people usually will not say to our faces what they think of practitioners. Instead, they say it elsewhere. Though they might think Dafa practitioners have clarified the truth well, and although they are moved, they still view our truth clarification with regular people's deviated notions. They think that we do this for money. Their notions do have an effect on our truth clarification, and as a result, many sentient beings do not gain a right understanding of Dafa.
Therefore, I think it is necessary for practitioners both inside and outside China to let people know that we clarify the truth simply in order to save people--not for money. Falun Gong is a cultivation group with no formal administration and it is not associated with any government or organizations. Our truth clarification expenses are covered entirely by practitioners, from their own pockets, for the purpose of saving people. A person would never risk arrest, risk beatings and persecution, and even risk losing his or her life just to make money. Practitioners only want to save people. I think it is truly necessary for us to tell ordinary people about this, in order to achieve better results in saving people and advising them to withdraw from the Communist Party and its affiliated organizations.
