About Bible
In the context of Christianity, the Bible is a sacred collection of texts considered the authoritative word of God. It is divided into the Old Testament, which includes texts sacred to Judaism, and the New Testament, which details the life and teachings of Jesus Christ and the early Christian Church. The Bible serves as the foundational document for Christian beliefs, practices, and moral guidelines, providing spiritual guidance and instruction to its followers.
Unlike the singular Bible in Christianity, Buddhism has a polycanon, encompassing various texts in different languages, such as the Sutas, Vinaya, and Abidharma in Pali, Chinese, and Tibetan. These texts collectively provide a comprehensive guide to Buddhist philosophy, ethics, and meditation practices, forming the foundation of Buddhist doctrine and spiritual guidance.
