N: Yes, all over the Pali texts there are doubles, or triples or more
of the same text. This is, as I see it, no problem at all. It is good
to read repetitions in different contexts. It can give us extra
reminders of the truth, not to be forgetful of realities, dhammas,
appearing at this moment. Is this not the purpose of our study? Our
purpose is not just book knowledge, but knowing the dhammas of our
daily life. As for me, I cannot hear the same text often enough. I
also appreciate it to read it in different contexts, this can deepen
our understanding.
