Please kindly allow a new member to add his two cents here.

First cent: I would like to submit that Sunyata (normally translated as 'emptiness') is not all about illusion. As others have mentioned before, impermanence might be better. But just because something is impermanent, doesn't mean it's not useful. Battery has a limited shelf-life too, but while it has power, it is very useful.

Second cent: Even if you are right to view the world as 'illusion', why think of this with negativity? Why don't you use this view to your advantage? Use your creativity to create the world that you want. Heck, it's just an illusion after all right? So if you can figure out the projector that projects the illusion, you can use it to project anything that you want, right? (OK, maybe not anything, because the world still operates under laws of physic.) So it should be 'anything within laws of physic and laws of human nature.'
