The basic tract on which the Buddhism rests is the FOUR NOBLE TRUTHS:
- Sufferings are easily felt.
- Sufferings are always caused. It doesn't exists by itself.
- Sufferings get ceased when the causes are understood & commanded.
- For commanding the causes one needs the Eight Fold Path.
The Eight fold path is divided into three headings as follows:
WISDOM (panna)
1. Right view
2. Right intention
ETHICAL CONDUCT (sila)
3.Right speech
4.Right action
5.Right livelihood
MENTAL DEVELOPMENT (Samadhi)
6. Right effort
7.Right mindfulness
8. Right concentration
Having our qualities based on such a track, Buddhism suggests interested ones to analyse anything in front of his/her eyes. The analytical and reasoning skills are summed up in the tipitaka ( Three buskets):
(1)Suttanta Pitaka: The Teaching Discourses,(Dhamma), (Three Treatises),
(2)Vinaya Pitaka: Rules of Discipline for the Order (Sangha) (Five Treatises).
(3)Abhidhamma Pitaka: Philosophical treatment of the Dhamma, (Seven Treatises).
May all beings be happy.
Atisha ( 11 century Tibetan Buddhist Master) said:
The greatest achievement is selflessness.
The greatest worth is self-mastery.
The greatest quality is seeking to serve others.
The greatest precept is continual awareness.
The greatest medicine is the emptiness of everything.

The greatest goodness is a peaceful mind.

Given that Buddhism in general has no deity, and "Holy Books" are inspired by a deity, it follows that Buddhism has no holy books. Buddhism does have a number of texts and writing reflecting the teachings of the Buddha and commentaries on these writings, These would be regarded as significant writings worth studying. A key consideration is that Zen Buddhism relies on an individual interpretation of the application of Buddhist principles to life. Interpretations provided by a book or instruction are suspect. As the Samurai koan states "If you meet the Buddha on the road - kill him."
