Caṅkama Sutta
“Monks,
There are five benefits of walking [meditation]. [1]
What five?
(1) One can patiently bear up with long travels,
(2) One can patiently strive [in meditation],
(3) One is healthy,
(4) What one has eaten and consumed is properly digested,
(5) The samādhi attained while walking stands for a long time. [2]
These are the five benefits of walking meditation monks.
