The sacred book of Buddhism is a very large book called the Tipitaka. The Tipitaka is written in Pali, an ancient Indian language that the Buddha spoke.

We have three books of the teachings of The Buddha, it is called the Tripitaka, literally "three baskets". The first basket is the Sutras, which are the teachings and sermons of The Buddha. The second is Abhidharma, which are philosophical discourses on the teachings. The third is Vinaya, which are the rules for monastic life.

Is it correct that there is no 'holy book' in Zen Buddhism?

Given that Buddhism in general has no deity, and "Holy Books" are inspired by a deity, it follows that Buddhism has no holy books. Buddhism does have a number of texts and writing reflecting the teachings of the Buddha and commentaries on these writings, These would be regarded as significant writings worth studying. A key consideration is that Zen Buddhism relies on an individual interpretation of the application of Buddhist principles to life. Interpretations provided by a book or instruction are suspect. As the Samurai koan states "If you meet the Buddha on the road - kill him."
