“Mendicants, there are five benefits of walking meditation.“Pañcime, bhikkhave, caṅkame ānisaṁsā. What five?Katame pañca? You get fit for traveling, fit for striving in meditation, and healthy. What’s eaten, drunk, chewed, and tasted is properly digested. And immersion gained while walking lasts long.Addhānakkhamo hoti, padhānakkhamo hoti, appābādho hoti, asitaṁ pītaṁ khāyitaṁ sāyitaṁ sammā pariṇāmaṁ gacchati, caṅkamādhigato samādhi ciraṭṭhitiko hoti. These are the five benefits of walking meditation.”Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca caṅkame ānisaṁsā”ti.
