Sukkah in Jewish and Buddhism

Question:

Why Sukkah is common to Jewish and Buddhism?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukkah
'Sukkah' for Jewish is worldly sensation, a joyous occasion to eat, sleep and otherwise spend time.

In Buddhism,

'nibbanam paramam sukham'
meaning detachment (freedom) from worldly sensations is 'ultimate Sukkah'.

Why opposite meanings for the same term?

@EddieJ,
Does the missing part (Shelter of Faith / dependence on God) make any difference to worldly sensation (pleasing 6 senses)?

@Zvi,
Do Jewish view God as permanent to seek dependence?

Check the place for creator God (Maha Brahma) viewed as permanent.

@Fake Genius,
Your suggestion confirms with commonality at bonfire & child sacrifice in Jewish Holocaust and Hindu Holli day festival.
