(Minghui.org) A man named Daming approached a Falun Dafa practitioner and said that he wanted to donate 10,000 yuan.
The practitioner was taken by surprise and advised Daming that learning the practice is free. The practitioner explained that Master Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa, has instructed practitioners not to collect money or ask people for money.
“I know that the practice is free,” said Daming. “But, you are producing different kinds of materials that tell people about Falun Dafa and the persecution, and that requires funds. Please accept my donation.”
Daming explained further, “During recent years, I've heard that people who practice Falun Dafa talk about the goodness of this cultivation practice and about the persecution. I've also looked at your fliers and brochures. This helped me to gradually understand that practitioners' words are forthright and they are trustworthy.”
He continued, “Last year I completed a project for a client, but I've had a hard time collecting the payment. A friend reminded me that I had promised to donate money to practitioners to print informational materials, but I had forgotten about it. I sincerely want to give the money. It is not a personal allowance, but for practitioners to print more materials to be distributed to the public. So you must accept it.”
Daming received all the back payment from his client soon after he made the donation. He tells people that one should always honor one's word.
