The Sermon on the mount is the longest continuous section of Jesus speaking found in the New Testament, and has been one of the most widely quoted elements of the Canonical Gospels. It includes some of the best known teachings of Jesus, such as the Beatitudes, and the widely recited Lord's Prayer. The Sermon on the Mount is generally considered to contain the central tenets of Christian discipleship.

Matthew 5:
1Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him.
2And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying: ESV
and Matthew 7 ends:
28And when Jesus finished these sayings, the CROWDS were astonished at his teaching, 29for he was TEACHING THEM as one who had authority, and not as their scribes. ESV
Matthew 8:1 tells us :
"When Jesus came down from the mountainside, large crowds followed him"
It appears from all the above verses that Christ was teaching a mixed crowd. Not just His disciples.
Mahatma Gandhi was one of thousands across the globe who were deeply moved and inspired by the The Sermon on the mount.
Did the sermon on the mount teachings then apply to non Christian also ?
Could they be saved if they obeyed what Christ taught ?
