How does Shikantaza facilitate Enlightenment

Hi,

What are the mechanics of Shikantaza? I see the Tibetan traditions often use a very analytical approach to Emptiness of phenomena and self. They will identify the object of negation (the 'I') and then ultimately refute its existence. Then rest the mind in that experience of not self.

How then does 'Just Sitting' offer such an experience?

If it doesn't, what is the relationship between the Buddha and his teaching on ending suffering and Shikantaza?

Thanks in advance!
