Jesus and Buddha (9)

These two verses compare the wisdom of Jesus and Buddha.

Jesus
Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? (Luke 6. 41-42)

Buddha
The faults of others are easier to see than one's own; the faults of others are easily seen, for they are sifted like chaff, but one's own faults are hard to see. This is like the cheat who hides his dice and shows the dice of his opponent, calling attention to others 's shortcomings, countiually thinking of accusing him.(Udanavarga 27.1)

Once, these two verses looks quite the same!
