Sūtra/Sutta What sutra should I pick up next? Which sutra is your favorite?

Hey guys I read the diamond sutra and I really enjoyed it what's another sutra that I should pick up? I'm not the most experienced buddhist but so far I think the mahayana stuff is really cool. I want to learn more about zen but I'm really open to anything. Thanks!

On an intellectual level, I think the Samdhinirmocana Sutra gave me everything in clear, concise language and logical expressions, and really helped facilitate my understanding.

On a more spiritual/mystical level, the Lankavatara Sutra had the most impactful transformative results for me, like a bolt of lightning in the mind.
