[[[Then Buddha came along, and Dogen who says, 'just sit'.]]] Before we start quoting the Buddha, let us first look at his background a bit. He spent several years studying the Martial Arts, Yoga and performed intense austerities before finding out that he could "just sit" and be illuminated.
While cases of spontaneous awakening aren't/cannot be ruled out, it seems more apt to follow a set of guidelines that will be more likely to bear results than that. Taoists meditate, but they also necessarily have to do Chi Gung and/or Tai Chi to first feel their Chi and then control it. Yogis follow a similar rule.
