Just curious as to which and or if any Mahayana sutras have been useful to your practice? For myself i have the found the Platform, Diamond and Heart sutras enlightening. Mods im not sure if this topic is suitable here, if not please move. Thanks!

I don't know if it is a sutra precisely but the eight verses for training the mind

This offering maybe right, or wrong, but it is one, the other, both, or neither!

Diamond Sutra, Heart Sutra, Vimalakirti Nirdesa Sutra, and the Platform Sutra.
Lankavatara Sutra is probably good too.
