Prior
pǔ lài ěr
普賴爾 is the name Prior in Chinese (Mandarin).
Prior
puraiaa
プライアー is the name Prior in Japanese Katakana.
Note: Because this title is entirely Japanese Katakana, it should be written by a Japanese calligrapher.
Tunisia
tū ní sī
teunijia
突尼斯 is the mainland Chinese Mandarin name for Tunisia.
突尼斯 is also used interchangeably to represent Tunis, the capital of Tunisia.
A bit antiquated, but these same characters were used in Japan prior to WWII to represent Tunisia. In modern Japan they tend to use the phonetic version in Katakana which is チュニジア.
In Taiwanese Mandarin, they often use 突尼斯市 to represent Tunisia.
Karma (of your past lives)
宿業 is the Buddhist concept of Past Karma. Simply put, it's the sum of all the good and bad from all previous lives (perhaps earlier in your current life). This term is not commonly used outside of the Buddhist faith (you'll have a tough time finding a non-Buddhist Asian person that knows this word).
Other ways to translate this are “The karma of previous existence,” “The karma remaining from prior existences,” or simply “Former karma.”
