At the same time, Abbess said that FGY Christchurch adheres to the concept of Giving by Venerable Master Hsing Yun, and hopes to provide a platform for artists to show through art exhibitions, and at the same time, through the circulation of works, support artists to continue to create and provide more artworks for the world.

Gayel Marquett, spokesperson for Friends of FGY Christchurch praised the exquisite exhibits for bringing joy to the public, and the artist's intentions are touching. Tricia Morant said that during the lockdown period, many art galleries in New Zealand were closed, and artists could not find a venue for exhibitions. The artists were thankful to the FGY Christchurch for providing a platform to allow 21 pottery artists from the Canterbury Ceramics Association to exhibit their works, and also thank the artists for their cooperation to make this exhibition possible.

Participating pottery artist Alex Prentice delivered a speech on behalf of the exhibiting artists, expressing that he cherishes the cause of the exhibition, allowing them to share their works with art lovers and inspiring them to move forward.
