Attaining the Unborn
Although the Unborn is the natural state of man, "self-criticism" rather than zazen or koans are needed to liberate the self from illusion and dualistic thoughts and fixations (nen)
According to Bankei, illusion arises through "selfish desire", and nen are "images of things seen and heard".
By detaching from those illusions and fixations, neither trying to prevent them, nor trying to encourage further thought, they will certainly stop of themselves.
Bankei.
