Cankama Sutta: Walking
translated from the Pali by
Aggacitta Bhikkhu & Kumara Bhikkhu
© 2012
Alternate translation: Thanissaro

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.
