On this it is said: \u201cWhether walking or standing, sitting or lying down, one who thinks a bad thought to do with the domestic life is practicing the wrong way, lost among things that delude; such a mendicant is incapable of experiencing the highest awakening. But one who, whether standing or walking, sitting or lying down, has calmed their thoughts, loving peace of mind; such a mendicant is capable of experiencing the highest awakening.\u201d This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.","title":"Walking","tradition":"Khuddaka Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":311}
