This is Teisho from our weekly zazen sitting at Hakone Gardens.
Zengo are given as part of the"teisho" (teaching) at the end of the zazen period.
The phrases are meant to encourage students to deepen their own understanding of the meaning by opening "shin" (heart/mind).

随所作主 立処皆真 zuisho ni shuto nareba risho mina shin nari "This zengo is from "Rinzai Roku". "Just become the master wherever you are. Then any place you stand is the true place."
