Maybe give some free advice about: Spirituality?
I did a search and I got " Awaking of the Faith: Mahayana Shraddhotpada Schastra " Hope this helped.

They don't have one. Most religions have a main religious text (Bible, Torah, Koran), but buddhists do not. Buddhism is less a religion and more an entire way of livivng. Unlike other religions, buddhists are not united. They have no set creed or dogma. They do not require you to believe anything you don't like. They are very tolerant of other beliefs and systems and religions.
Instead of a set of rules, they have something called Dharma (dar-muh), which is one's own set of rules to live by. Everyone's is different and you get to pick your own. There is also Karma, which, as we all know, is payback for bad deeds and rewards for good ones. And of course, they believe in reincarnation.
Not exactly what you were looking for, but yeah, they don't have a "bible."

The Buddhist bible? There is no such thing. There is the eithfold path...just go onto google and search Buddist Belief System and it should bring up everything you will need to know about Buddhism.

Well, maybe you spelled it wrong. If that isn't the problem than try again find in either a book store or the library.

There is no holy book in buddhist but the rules of buddhism are written in scriptures after his death. I beleive the scriptures of Tripitaka is the longest set of rules, and it's been put in over 100 volumes. There are a couple more scripture sets...and some of them just explain the 8 fold path deeply.
