There is no 'Bible' in Buddhism, unlike it's religious counterparts (Islam and Christians). BUT, Buddhism has this thing (something like a bible. But it does not contain words from 'God'. Instead, it contains the teachings and sayings of Gautama Buddha, the founder of Buddhism) called 'Buddhist Scriptures'. It contains sacred texts from many canonical or non-canonical texts regarding Buddhism. But these texts weren't compiled into a book unlike The Bible.

Example of Buddhist Scriptures (Or Buddhist Sacred Texts):

1. The Pali Canon

2. Mahayana Sutras

I suggest to the public that you should look up to Wikipedia on Buddhism. It answers your questions regarding whether Buddhism has a 'Bible' or not.

" The love is in this respect, not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a propitiatory sacrifice for our sins". Our gratitude should move us to action.
