Chiral symmetry can be applied to many-body nonleptonic decays of heavy hadrons. We establish the chiral effective Hamiltonian for some typical many-body nonleptonic decays of bottom hadrons. We discuss the lowest-order contributions coming from such a Hamiltonian and present, as an example, a calculation of decay distributions of $B^-\to D^+ D^-_s \pi^-$ and $B^-\to D^{ \ast +} D^-_s \pi^-$. We emphasize that wide applications of this method are possible.
