Is Bono a Buddhist?

Being in the present - not dwelling in the past or thinking about the future - is the quintessence of dharma practice.  And it's something dear to the heart of many artists and performers as well.  In an article in today's New York Times, Bono talks about the time he spent at Frank Sinatra's house in Palm Springs.  They talked about Miles Davis and jazz, and Sinatra said:

“Jazz is about the moment you’re in. Being modern's not about the future, it’s about the present.”

Bono reflects on Frank's words, and his classic rendition of "My Way", and says: "I’m sure he’s right. Fully inhabiting the moment during that tiny dot of time after you’ve pressed “record” is what makes it eternal. If, like Frank, you sing it like you’ll never sing it again. If, like Frank, you sing it like you never have before."
