00:00:00,031 --> 00:00:06,060
Can walking meditation be as effective as possible as sitting meditation?

2
00:00:06,500 --> 00:00:06,881
Of course.

3
00:00:07,482 --> 00:00:09,144
Meditation is not walking or sitting.

4
00:00:09,184 --> 00:00:10,647
Meditation is the state of mind.

5
00:00:11,608 --> 00:00:20,401
Sitting meditation has the added benefit of having fewer objects to focus on.

6
00:00:21,342 --> 00:00:26,730
But walking meditation or meditation in any position can be equally effective.

7
00:00:26,710 --> 00:00:33,599
The Buddha said, whatever yatha yatha va panitthang, something like that.

8
00:00:33,739 --> 00:00:41,570
However the mind is, however you, whatever posture you put the mind in, be mindful of that.

9
00:00:42,110 --> 00:00:47,858
So it doesn't matter what posture or what movement or what experience comes about.

10
00:00:47,838 --> 00:00:49,586
can be effective.

11
00:00:49,606 --> 00:00:59,130
Now, sitting meditation structurally is the most beneficial because there's very few objects to begin with.
