For the beginner, it is difficult to sit. However,
if you continue your practice you will discover your own posture, good or bad.
Then you can say it may be better to put some more strength in your abdomen,
make your posture straighter; or you may find that you are leaning forward or
backward. That you have your own posture is at the same time to
have some bad habits. Without bad habits you cannot improve your posture!
[Laughing.] It is good for us to have bad habits!----------------Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 66-03-26a as found on shunryusuzuki.com.
