Garma C.C. Chang, A Treasury of Mahāyāna Sūtras: Selections from the Mahāratnakūta Sūtra

> It is common Buddhist experience that realization can be engendered through long years of frequent recitation of sutras. Therefore, the purpose of reading a Buddhist sutra is not only to grasp its meaning, but also to acquire religious insight and experience. To achieve this one should not just read the sutra once and digest the information therein. but should read it again and again, even out loud, so that the words of the Sutra become totally absorbed into one's subconscious mind. This is tantamount to letting the sutra take over the mind and run its course to reach the beyond. It is for this reason that the intentional repetition in Buddhist scriptures should not be treated entirely as a defect, but rather as a constructive and beneficial method for Dharma practice.

If you haven't explored much yet, try speed-reading or scrolling to random sections of any of the sutras translated on this site: www.sutrasmantras.info. The selection is excellent (including some that are virtually unheard of in the English-speaking world) and the translation is top-notch. Even just the glossary by itself is quite epic.

I also highly recommend the Ratnakuta sutras (where I got that excerpt from), though it's only available in print and is only a partial translation: A Treasury of Mahayana Sutras.
