  Charm and bottom mesons and baryons are incorporated into a low energy chiral
Lagrangian. Interactions of the heavy hadrons with light octet Goldstone bosons
are studied in a framework which represents a synthesis of chiral perturbation
theory and the heavy quark effective theory. The differential decay rate for
the semileptonic process $\LBzero \to \Sigma_c^{++} + e^- + \bar{\nu}_e +
\pi^-$ is calculated at the zero recoil point using this hybrid formalism.
