There are many books and texts used in Buddhism to instruct in its practices and beliefs. Same are discourses on positions and teachings, others are records of the Buddha's sermons and lectures.
So there is not one book that is especially important and equivalent to a Qur'an or Bible.
It is important to remember that "holy" implies something given by a deity to mankind, either directly ot through messengers. Buddhism has no deity. As a consequence there is no "holy" anything.
