You asked for it

Mahayana Buddhist Sutras
Saddharma Puṇḍarīka Sūtra (Lotus Sutra)

Have to have Theravada to back it up though

Complete sutta guide
Accesstoinsight

There are a lot. If you're looking for schools that kinda mirror the "communion of saints" you can read about the different Bodhisattvas and their meanings. The Buddha's Great Disciples

and so forth.

Nagarjuna's Mulamadhyamakakarika

Enough to make even the staunchest philosophers reach for the whiskey and aspirin.

Thanks. That's a lot to start with. Hahaha.

One of the key tenets of the Zen school of Mahayana Buddhism is that each one of us is already a Buddha—our enlightenment is inherent within us, and the practice of mindfulness is the tool to bring this truth to our full awareness.

I liked Dharmanet when I was exploring Buddhism a few years ago.

Didn't get far into it so I can't give it the vote of confidence that a Buddhist might.

I'll give you the vote of confidence.
