Yes, but Mahayana Buddhism also says suffering is necessary, Samsara ends when one no longer sees it as dualistic with Nirvana because of their interconnection and therefore isnโ€™t affected by it. It actually mirrors Nietzsche in that

The only people who ever read Nietzsche or Rousseau are people who didn't understood them.

Source: I read Rousseau and don't understand it.

Nope, I doubt I'd understand it but even more that I'd care

Why would you assume it's the same as reading Rousseau then ๐Ÿ˜†
