Quotes.
So far i've read:
'One of the powers of an enlightened mind is the ability to spontaneously emanate itself through the power of its altruistic intention.
When an attained Lama enters clear light meditation, he would usually emanate into 5 main emanations, which corresponds to body, speech, mind, qualities and activities.
The students of the Lama would search for the mind emanation, which is also known as the incarnation of the high Lama.
That is an incarnation.
Emanation is an animate or inanimate form manifested by Buddhas or high Bodhisattvas to benefit others.
If it is from an infinite source such as all embracing mind of a Buddha which is space like and unobstructed, it can have countless emanations in infinite forms all at one instance.
Reincarnation requires a mode of birth egg womb born, egg born, moisture born, etc in order for the rebirth entity to possess the characteristics of the being specific to that mode of birth.
Egg, to take on human form and characteristics, one need to take rebirth through the womb of a female human.'

More questions.
Can inanimate physical things, as for example: Dorje Phurba, be vessels for Buddha emanation?
If yes, then does Buddha blessing radiate from these?
