The "holy scriptures" of other religions (the Christian Bible. the Qur'an, etc.) are only important as philosophical works.
Buddhist has no holy scriptures of its own as the word "holy" would identify a godly origin. There is no god in Buddhism, thus no god given origin of scriptures.
Buddhist texts and books (e.g. the Heart Sutra) are important as they contain discussions and arguments for the Buddhist wold view.
