Summary/Abstract: In the present paper fundamental problems of Buddhology are viewed from the standpoint of semiotics. The author comes to the following conclusions: 1) Buddhism is equivalent to the zero way which lies on a different level in comparison with the sign system. 2) The reconstruction of the so-called original Buddhism (if it should be possible) does not promote the understanding of Buddhism. 3) The zero way is exclusively to be described by means of the tetralemma.
