  We investigate the $J_1$-$J_2$ Heisenberg model on the triangular lattice
with an additional scalar chirality term and show that a chiral spin liquid is
stabilized in a sizeable region of the phase diagram. This topological phase is
situated in between a coplanar $120^\circ$ N\'{e}el ordered and a non-coplanar
tetrahedrally ordered phase. Furthermore we discuss the nature of the
spin-disordered intermediate phase in the $J_1$-$J_2$ model. We compare the
groundstates from Exact Diagonalization with a Dirac spin liquid wavefunction
and propose a scenario where this wavefunction describes the quantum critical
point between the $120^\circ$ magnetically ordered phase and a putative
$\mathbb{Z}_2$ spin liquid.
