Sorry / Apologetic / Repent / Regret
後悔 is the feeling of being or feeling repentant, apologetic, and regret.
後悔 is not sorrow.
This term is often used in the context of Buddhism and other religions.
Note: This is a strange thing to write on a wall scroll for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean people - but you can bend the rules if you want in the west.
Die Without Regret
死而無悔 is how to say “die with no regrets” in Mandarin Chinese.
This proverb comes from the Analects of Confucius.
Live Without Regret
生而無悔 is how to say “live without regrets” in Mandarin Chinese.
Note: There is some debate about whether this makes sense in Japanese. It would be read, "nama ji mu ke," and be understood in Japanese. But, a Japanese person will probably think it’s Chinese (not Japanese).
