Monks, there are these five benefits of walking up & down.[1] What five? One is fit for long journeys; one is fit for striving; one has little disease; that which is eaten, drunk, chewed, tasted, goes through proper digestion; the composure attained by walking up & down is long-lasting. These, monks, are the five benefits of walking up & down. Note 1. Cankama: Walking meditation, usually in the form of walking back and forth along a prescribed path. [— jtb]
