Everything is visionary/unreal

Though Buhdda once said something like everything on earth is visionary/unreal, I feel great pain and jitters when faced with hardships and troubles.

Hi,

I try to record what I feel in English.

Is it the same to use visionary and unreal in the above?

And correct me if there are mistakes in the above? Thanks.

'Visionary' is the wrong word; it means 'able to see the future'. You mean 'illusory', I think. Though Buhdda once said something to the effect that everything on earth is illusory/unreal, I feel great anguish and agitation when faced with hardship and troubles.
