Hi Paul. The JEs tend to lead with the "officiating" sense, so I've made that the first.

  Comments:
Daijr has 4 meanings, the only non-Buddhist one being "ヨーガなどで、指導者のこと。グル。". Daijs has 3 meanings, all Buddhist.
I'm not sure what the ideal sense split and glosses are here. Maybe have "(esp. Buddhist)" in sense 1? And perhaps the [Buddh] tag on sense 2.
