Wenju, Vol. 1, Part 1 (文句一上 [wen ju yi shang]), states: "The merits of wisdom and severance (智斷功德 [zhi duan gong de]) are all called self-benefit."
己利—【術語】自己之利益。法華經序品曰：「逮得己利，盡諸有結。」文句一上曰：「智斷功德，皆名己利。」

極理 [ji li]—Jílǐ — [Miscellaneous Notes (雜語 [za yu])] The ultimate principle (至極之道理 [zhi ji zhi dao li]). Wenju Ji (文句記 [wen ju ji]) Volume 3, Part 1 states: "If it is said that both the preface and the main text are eternal (序正俱常 [xu zheng ju chang]), it is spoken from the perspective of the ultimate principle (從說 [cong shuo])."

即離 [ji li]—Ji Li - [Term] When noumenon (事 [shi]) and phenomenon (理 [li]) are non-dual, it is called Ji (即 [ji]). When noumenon (事 [shi]) and phenomenon (理 [li]) are distinct, it is called Li (離 [li]). The Tiantai (天台宗 [tian tai zong]) school uses this distinction to differentiate the profundity of the Separate (別教 [bie jiao]) and Perfect (圓教 [yuan jiao]) teachings. The 'Zhiyao Chao' (指要鈔 [zhi yao chao]) (part 2) states: "Our school uses Ji Li to distinguish between Separate (別教 [bie jiao]) and Perfect (圓教 [yuan jiao])."
即離—【術語】事理不二云即，事理差別云離。天台宗以此分別別圓二教之淺深。指要鈔下曰：「今家以即離分於別圓。」
