Hi Deshy

That phenomena are inherently dukkha is not the teaching of the Four Noble Truths (1st Sermon).

That phenomena are inherently dukkha is the teaching of the Three Characteristics (2nd Sermon).

Dukkha has three different meanings:

1. Painful feeling (dukkha vedana)
2. Inherent unsatisfactoriness (dukkha lakkhana or viparinama dukkha)
3. Mental concocting (sankhara dukkha)

The 1st Sermon is about sankhara dukkha, i.e., the dukkha of attachment ('I-making' & 'my-making').

Kind regards
