This is a semiotic study of a corpus of texts that Kumârajîva (344-413 CE) Paramârtha (499~569 CE) and Xuanzang (599~664 CE) transmitted from India to China featuring a critical reading of the Dazhidu Lun (T1509 Mahâ-Prajñâpâramitâ-upadeúa-Úâstra) San Wuxing Lun (T1617 Try-asvabhâva-prakara.na) and Guangbai Lun (T1571 Catu.húataka-úâstra-kârika). Focusing its attention on the Mahâyâna Buddhist notion of samatâ it identifies a Buddhist semiotics which anticipates Derrida's invocation of the notion of the Same in his deconstruction of binary oppositions.
