Cankama Sutta
Walking
Translated from the Pāli by Aggacitta Bhikkhu & Kumara Bhikkhu
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.
