What is the Buddhism Bible?

Answer 1

THE VEDAS are the most important and sacred texts of Hindus. The Vedas are the world's most ancient scripture.

The earliest written Vedas date to about 1400 B.C.E (Before the Common Era), but the songs they capture in letters are a great deal older, although no one can say by how much.

The language of the Vedas is Sanskrit, a language that is so holy that the very word Sanskrit means "perfect".

The original written Vedas are four:

1. The Rig Veda
2. The Sama Veda
3. The Yajur Veda
4. The Atharva Veda

Each Veda has four layers:

1. Samhitas (a collection of hymns)
2. Brahmanas (directions about sacrifice)
3. Aranyaka (the forest songs)
4. Upanishads(wich search for the meaning behind it all)

Other sacred texts of Hindus are:

1. Ramayana
2. Mahabharatha
3. Bhagwad Geeta
4. Srimad Bhagvatam
5. Manusmriti
6. Shiva Puranam

Answer 2

Answer:There is no "Buddhist Bible", really, but there are many names for a number of different texts that are important in Buddhism:

The Pali Cannon is a large collection of books that are said to contain all of the teachings of the Buddha.

Sutras are individual texts in Buddhism, and often individual sects or groups of practitioners will particularly study and revere one Sutra.

The Dhammapada may be the closest thing to a "Buddhist Bible". It contains the core of the Buddhas teachings in verse. It is one of the most common collections of the Buddha's words

Answer 3

There is no exact name of Buddhism Bible, but there are some important texts for this religion, which we can call The Bible if we take them together.

1. The Dhammapada also known as Dharmapada (comes from Dharma)

2. Sutras

3. The Pali Cannon (the collection of texts about the Budha)

I guess these three names express and are called the Bible of Buddhism.
