Where to now?

The Diamond Cutter Sutra is almost over now. It has thirty-two chapters. My question is: what should we do next? I value my practice of getting up in the morning and devoting some time to spiritual progress, and I would like to continue.

Some options:

1) Go through the same sutra again, keeping the old stuff.

2)Go through the sutra again, overwriting the old stuff. (Like the sand forms that certain Zen monks erase after making.)

3) Go through a different text, such as one by Suzuki, or Hanh.

4) Something else. I'm open to suggestions.

I would like to go through another text, and maybe return to this at a later date?

Okay. I'm taking a few days off 'cuz my home computer is in the shop. Hopefully inspiration about which text to do next will hit. It might be refreshing to move to something more modern.
