In this difficult but important sutta the Buddha reviews in depth one of the most fundamental principles of Buddhist thought and practice: namely, that there is no thing — not even Nibbana itself — that can rightly be regarded as the source from which all phenomena and experience emerge.
MN 2: Sabbasava Sutta — Discourse on All Āsavas/All the Fermentations {M i 6} [Burma Piṭaka Assn. | Thanissaro].
The Buddha teaches seven methods for eliminating from the mind the deeply rooted defilements (sensuality, becoming, views, and ignorance) that obstruct the realization of Awakening.
Those are two I read every day for about 2 weeks. Other than that I don't read many sutras this year. I study my teacher's dharma talks sometimes. And I am taking a long distance course with a workbook.
Oh, and I listen to the heart sutra in my sangha liturgy CD maybe 8 times a month in spurts..
