But, not to derail the thread, reading the bible is good for believer and unbeliever alike. I will probably read the Quran too and more on Buddhism. Is there a collected works of Buddhism? I know there are many Sutras but is there a collected group of works that could be considered complete? What is it called?
Thanks,

It is called tripitaka or something. One set consist of sayings by the Buddha, the other monastic rules and the last sayings by the arhants or enlightened ones.
