Satipatthana Sutta 40 - 41
(3. The six Bases)
40. "Again, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu abides contemplating mind-objects as mind-objects in term of the six internal and external bases. And how does a bhikkhu abide contemplating mind-objects as mind-objects in term of the six internal and external bases? Here a bhikkhu understands the eye, he understands forms, and he understands the fetter that arises dependent on both; and he also understands how there comes to be the abandoning of the arisen fetter, and how there comes to be the future non-arising of the abandoned fetter.
"He understands the ear, he understands sound... He understands the nose, he understands the odours... he understands the tongue, he understands flavours... He understands the body, he understands tangibles... He understands the mind, he understands mind-objects, and he understands the fetter that arises dependent on both; and he also understands how there comes to be the arising of the unarisen fetter, and how there comes to be the abandoning of the arisen fetter, and how there comes to be the future non-arising of the abandoned fetter.
41. In this way he abides contemplating mind-objects as mind-objects internally, externally, and both internally and externally... And he abides independent, not clinging to anything in the world. That is how a bhikkhu abides contemplating mind-objects as mind-objects in terms of the six internal and external bases.
