Most of the Diamond Way Buddhist Centers in Canada consist of people and families living together, working full-time jobs, and incorporating Diamond Way teachings and meditations into their daily lives. Members share responsibility for guiding meditations, answering questions, and giving explanations about Buddhism; their work is unpaid, and based on idealism and friendship.

The main practice in all the centers is the Guru Yoga meditation on the 16th Karmapa. There is a relaxed social atmosphere in the centers, refreshments are provided, and questions are encouraged. Other activities include readings, teachings and videos. These weekly meditation evenings are open to the public and are free of charge.
