a student who perfectly understands the teacher can be said to have the teacher reborn in him.

Okay, so it's just a figure of speech, rather than any kind of ontological claim? A bit like saying - the child is the father of the man or he's a chip off the old block.

In other words Lamas would be using it as a means of saying "this kid is suitable to fill my shoes".

If I understand it correctly
