The writings of Buddhism are based on the teachings of the Buddha. Buddhas's teachings are not based on a previously existing set of writings. This is different from Christianity where the teachings are based in part on, and with refernece to, previous Jewish documents.

Answer:

Much of Buddhist thought comes from Hindu which comes from Brahmanism. The Hindu "sacred texts" (documents) are known as "Vedas." There are four primary Vedas.

The Buddhist "sacred texts" (documents) depend upon which flavor of Buddhism is in view. There is the "Tripitaka," several different "Sutras," the "Gosho" and several others.
