The real significance of dissolving the boundaries between samsara and nirvana in Madhyamika lies in its opening the way for Buddhists to return from the forests to their homes and speak to society in its own language, but speak as reformers, so that the call to social justice could re-enter the Indian life-world on Indian terms.
