Where Does the Money Come From?
2004-05-31Some people wonder about where the money comes from for Falun Gong activities. They often ask us how we are able to print materials to clarify the truth, hold activities, and host big events. They wonder, "Where does the money come from to cover your expenses?"

Despite the Ups and Downs Falun Gong Practitioners Still Stand Firm After Their Twelve Year Journey of Safeguarding Dafa
