For example, if a spiritually sick person were to read the 1st Noble Truth, may their illness not be on the list?

Hi Element,

What you mean by Spiritually sick person?

a person which sickness is at his spiritual life?

or a person devoted to spiritual life but has a kind of terminal illness...

I would say it covers everything.

Of course... and more...

If you give an insightfull reading of it you will see that Sorrow, Lamentation, Pain, Grief and Dispair are ways we react to life facts. Dispositions to life events. Life events are as they are and we elaborate form them Lamentation, Sorrow, Pain, etc...

Also through the understanding of the very First Noble Truth; though a deep insight and a meditative disposition to it we can elaborate the other three. So I think that this teaching, sometimes forgotten or unseen because the entangled cultural add ons, has the seed for the understanding of the rest of the historical Buddha teachings and the accomplishment of this teaching is of paramount importance for who seeks to overcome suffering.
