Phap XaGUEST
I also find it interesting to, to think about, like, walking meditation versus, like, sitting meditation because I see for myself, I want to walk when there's a strong emotion, and also sometimes I've asked brothers and sisters what they like to do, and I hear most of them saying, like, they like to go walking or they like to, to be out, uh, in nature, to be in touch with nature.

Phap XaGUEST
And for me, at that moment, I remember it was towards the end of a, of a day of mindfulness, and the sisters here, they live in Lower Hamlet, and we, the, the monks, we live in Upper Hamlet, and it's about three kilometers.

Phap XaGUEST
And so I remember at that day of, like, like, practicing walking meditation from Lower Hamlet to Upper Hamlet, so that's about three kilometers.

And I just wanted you to talk a bit about that sort of meditation and, and what it means to do it.
