This translation provides an authoritative exposition of the five levels of Zen, the aims and essentials of zazen, and the relation of zazen to enlightenment. #3 To truly understand zazen, you must let go of all conceptions of body and mind. To realize perfect enlightenment, you must let fall all ideas of your body and your mind. #4 The koan system may be misused in the Soto sect, as it is in the Rinzai sect. Soto masters do not assign shikan-taza to beginners, as they prefer to have them concentrate on counting their breaths or a burning desire for enlightenment before they introduce koans.
