This is rather lovely

Hold not a fault a little matter

thinking – ‘this is minor to me’.

The falling drops of water will in time fill a water jar.

In the same way, foolish people become full of delusion,

though they gather it little by little.

Focus not on the flaws of others

Nor on their deed and misdeeds,

focus instead on what we ourselves regret,

what we have done or not done.

Neither in the sky, nor deep ion the ocean,

not in a mountain cave, nor any worldly place,

can we avoid our unskilled actions.
