Hi Craig

Also MN 148

What is being discussed here is a core teaching of the Buddha

In AN 3.61, the Buddha said he teaches four things:

1. the six elements
2. the six sense spheres
3. the eighteen spheres of mental exploration or contemplation (which is knowing 3 x feelings @ 6 x sense contact)
4. for those who feel, the Four Noble Truths

All suttas (MN 37, MN 38, MN 148, etc) are about observing feeling (with mindfulness & wisdom) so craving, attachment, etc, does not occur.

Nibbana with residue remaining is the arahant free from greed, hatred & delusion but whose mind still feels pleasure & pain

To understand from pleasant feeling comes greed; from unpleasant feeling comes anger; from neither feeling comes delusion, is basic Dhamma

Kind regards
