The Buddha explains the benefits of walking meditation.
“Pañcime, bhikkhave, caṅkame ānisaṁsā. Katame pañca? Addhānakkhamo hoti, padhānakkhamo hoti, appābādho hoti, asitaṁ pītaṁ khāyitaṁ sāyitaṁ sammā pariṇāmaṁ gacchati, caṅkamādhigato samādhi ciraṭṭhitiko hoti. Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca caṅkame ānisaṁsā”ti.
“Bhikkhus, there are these five benefits of walking meditation. What are the five? One is able to endure long journeys, one is able to endure striving, one is seldom sick, what has been eaten, drunk, chewed, and tasted is properly digested, and the collectedness attained by walking meditation is long-lasting. These, bhikkhus, are the five benefits of walking meditation.”
