Which way should the pelvis tilt?

Master Kosen – Published on September 8 – posture

Question

I would like to know which way the pelvis should tilt in the zazen posture: inward,
as in martial arts, or outward, sticking the buttocks out? The
people who have explained the posture to me disagree on this point.

Answer from Master Kosen

The buttocks a little outward, but do not overdo it.
