∙ 13y agoThe sacred book of Buddhism is called the Tipitaka. It is written in an ancient Indian language called Pali which is very close to the language that the Buddha himself spoke. The Tripitaka is a very large book. The English translation of it takes up nearly forty volumes.
Buddhists do not have sacred books and they do not pray. There are no deities in Buddhism so there is no one to pray to.
The nearest things Buddhists have to sacred books are the books of the Pali Canon, called the Tipitaka ("The Three Baskets") but the canon is not sacred, it is a collection of books with sermons, talks, stories, verses, and so on that probably were composed in the Buddha's time, and are the closest we have to original source material. Though Buddhists have a great deal of respect for these texts, they are not considered sacred as they have nothing to do with divinity.

As Buddhism had no god in the Christian sense, only a belief that people can resolve their own way to enlightenment, there is no reason tp pray to a non-existent power. That said there are no books to teach them to pray yo a power that is not there.
