According to Parikh's recent work, Hawking radiation is viewed as a tunneling process and the barrier is created just by the outgoing particle itself. In this paper, we extend Parikh's work to the case of massive particles' tunneling, and calculate the emission rate at which massive particles tunnel across the event horizon of an arbitrarily dimensional Schwarzschild black hole. The result is also consistent with an underlying unitary theory and takes the same functional form as that of massless particles. Moreover, our result also shows that Hawking radiation is an intrinstic property of the black hole.
