The terminal Buddha in Longmen Grottoes should have several fingers pointing upwards in his right hand.

The broken finger Buddha in Longmen Grottoes was originally three-pointed.

Amitabha Buddha, the main Buddha in Binyang North Cave of Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang City, Henan Province, stretched out three fingers with his right hand, but his thumb was damaged, so the gesture now looks like a "scissors hand" extended when people take pictures.

"Scissorhands" Buddha statue is the main image of Amitabha Buddha in the main wall of Binyang North Cave in "Binyang Three Caves". About 10 meter high, squatting, hands pointing to heaven and earth equally. According to the tour guide, the original name of Binyang Cave was "Lingyan Temple", and it was renamed as "Binyang Cave" after the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is divided into Binyang South Cave, Binyang Middle Cave and Binyang North Cave.

"Scissorhands" gesture is actually a rare Buddhist handprint. Buddha's handprint means that Buddhist practitioners make various gestures and recite Buddhist scriptures with their hands and fingers, so as to achieve the goal of successful practice more quickly.

Combined with the posture of hands, the right hand is held high on the chest, the palm is up, the ring finger and the little finger are closed, and the other two fingers are straight; The palm of the left hand is down, the ring finger and the little finger are bent, and the other fingers are straight. This is a handprint that can convey a strong will. This Buddha statue is nicknamed "Scissorhands" Buddha by netizens, because the thumb is weathered and the gap between the index finger and the middle finger is too large, which is quite similar to the scissors hand that everyone is used to posing now.
