dear Dhamma friends

in his 1st sermon, Buddha taught about the Four Noble Truths, in which craving was identified as the cause of suffering

in his 2nd sermon, Buddha taught about the Three Characteristics, of impermanence, unsatisfactoriness & not-self

after Buddha taught his 2nd sermon, each hearer reached full enlightenment

it follows, the question may be asked: "Does the scope of Buddha-Dhamma extend beyond the 1st two sermons?"
