This essay offers a reinterpretation of Buddhist contemplative practice through the lens of semiotics: the theory of signs and meaning. Drawing on early Pāli Buddhist texts and the philosophy of Charles Sanders Peirce, this book argues that meditation is fundamentally a semiotic discipline: a systematic exploration of how perception, cognition, and language construct the world of experience. Through a comparative dialogue between Buddhism, phenomenology, and Peircean semiotics, the book develops the concept of psychosemiotics: the study of how signs organize consciousness and constitute reality. Meditation emerges here as an experimental inquiry into perception itself—an effort to move beyond habitual sign-structures toward direct awareness of phenomena “as they are”. --------------------------------------------- Federico Divino (PhD) is an Italian linguist specializing in the relationship between thought and language in Buddhism. He has worked as a researcher at Italian and international universities and has addressed meditation and Buddhist philosophy in several published academic works. He currently collaborates on the scientific project “Narratives of Renewal” at the LinC (Language, Interaction and Culture) research center within the Faculty of Psychology at Sapienza University of Rome, where he has been teaching courses and seminars on these topics since 2024.…
