Jesus and Buddha: The Parallel Sayings, The Mustard Seed

Do not underestimate good, thinking it will not affect you. Dripping water can fill a pitcher. drop by drop; one who is wise is filled with good, even if it accumulates little by little.
Buddha
The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that someone took and sowed in his field; it is the smallest of all the seeds, but when it has grown it is the greatest of shrubs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.

It is very wrong to compare Jesus with Gautama Buddha.
Why?
Jesus do not consider compromises.
Gautama Buddha consider compromises.
In New Testament Bible: Everything that is not christian or not belong to jewish god is satanic.
Gautama Buddha says that really behaviour (and therefore, karma) is more important than national or religious patterns.
In christian churches people seriously say that buddhists worship Satan (it is abstract or real enemy of jewish god).
Buddhists do not blame christians without any reason.
Jesus came to Earth to save one, specific nation – jews. It is said in New Testament – read it carefully.
Buddha came to Earth not only to save only one specific nation, but to give the way for salvation (from suffering) for everyone who follows dharma.
As I’ve already said, christian morality is not pure. First of all, it does not consider a problem of suffering. In christianity, suffering is even normal, if it is desired by jewish god or some jewish arch-angels. Christianity postulates insane idea of ETERNAL suffering in the lake of fire – for some invisible beings that must be judged by jewish god or son of jewish god. Think about it, ETERNAL suffering! ETERNAL = without an end! Christianity also contain destructive idea of Apocalypse – total destruction of the planet, and the fascist idea of chosen nation, that is, jews — chosen nation by jewish god for salvation. In New Testament of Bible — 144000 jews must be saved before Apocalypse and before total destruction of the planet.
Buddhist dharma is better than hypocritical christian morality. Dharma is pure, logical and clear. Dharma fundamentally states that suffering must be avoided using intellectual solutions, understanding, friendliness, love and compassion. Dharma is the right way to live to achieve harmony.
Theme is making sense and meaningful and tell the message, but I am not able to describe the massage meaning.
