below is what appears to be another idiosyncratic view about what the Buddha taught:

The Buddha refused to have any dealing with those things which don't lead to the extinction of Dukkha. Take the question of whether or not there is rebirth. What is reborn? How is it reborn? What is its kammic inheritance ? These questions are not aimed at the extinction of Dukkha. That being so they are not Buddhist teaching and they are not connected with it. They do not lie in the sphere of Buddhism.

Bhikkhu Buddhadasa is this really true? do the Pali suttas offer any evidence of what Bhikkhu Buddhadasa asserted above?

did not the Buddha, in MN 117, MN 60, etc, teach about a (mundane) "right view" that does not lead to the extinction of dukkha?
