2.54

Explanation: Twelve are internal: the six faculties and the six consciousnesses. Because these twelve elements are the bases of mind, and the bases are close and intimate, they are said to be 'internal'. The six objects—visible form and the rest—are the objective supports of mind; and because the objective supports are distant and mediated, they are said to be 'external'.
