Suggestions for working with the Bowl of Saki are on the introduction page, and in the beginning of each file below. Click on the links below to download the set of files you need. If you have Word or a compatible program, you will find the .doc file better laid out and easier to use. The text file is smaller.
There are lines and asterisks on each page which separate the three writings and each day. It is suggested that you use them a marks to stop and consider each appropriately. This means that you would not read the complement or harmony prior to working with it. That method allows you to consider one aspect at a time without being influenced by the following writings.
1. Text version: (714K). The smallest of all, this can be used on all operating systems. This is ok, but not well formatted. May not print well. Test a few pages first.
Download the text version.
2. A .doc file.: (1,255K). A Microsoft Word file. It is well formatted but not usable on some O.S. other than Windows unless you have the right software. Prints well.

3. A .pdf file.: (1,395K). Adobe file which is well formatted, prints well, and is usable across platforms. It is the largest of these versions.
Download the pdf version
4.A .php version.: (360K). This is the interactive, web based version you likely used. The download is a zipped archive. This will unzip to a directory called 'saki'. You can change the name of this directory if you like without doing any harm. This needs to be put on a computer or web server with .php or it will not work. Instructions are in a 'Read Me' file available after you unzip the directory which contains the program and supporting files.
