Walking Meditation

“Pañcime, bhikkhave, caṅkame ānisaṁsā.
“Mendicants, there are five benefits of walking meditation.

Katame pañca?
What five?

Addhānakkhamo hoti, padhānakkhamo hoti, appābādho hoti, asitaṁ pītaṁ khāyitaṁ sāyitaṁ sammā pariṇāmaṁ gacchati, caṅkamādhigato samādhi ciraṭṭhitiko hoti.
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.

Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca caṅkame ānisaṁsā”ti.
These are the five benefits of walking meditation.”
