What are some sacred texts of Buddhism?

Question

I have this project due Wednesday on Buddhism, and I can't seem to find the sacred, religious texts... So, can you help a girl out?

Answer 1

There are many forms of Buddhism; Indian, Chinese, Japanese and much more. There is no single "sacred text" of Buddhism, but rather the fundamental teachings of Buddha known as The Eightfold Path and The Four Noble Truths.

However, you may be able to find many answers to your questions about Buddhism by simply "Googling" these terms. I was also able to find this web site that may be helpful.

Best of luck to you on your project.

Answer 2

The major on is The Dhammapada. But there are plenty of others and you can find them here
